  abstract =     "This research draws attention to the fact that the
                 issues involved in rendering characters on screen at
                 low resolution are as relevant to symbols or icons as
                 they are to letterforms. The results of research aimed
                 at improving the perceptibility of letterforms on
                 screen are used to develop a set of modifications that
                 can be applied to symbols that have been scanned from
                 an original design on paper. These modifications are
                 implemented in two stages: rule-based modifications,
                 followed by individual pixel editing. The effectiveness
                 of these modifications in improving the
                 discriminability of symbols varying in graphic
                 complexity is evaluated by a perceptual experiment
                 which compares the unmodified versions with the two
                 modified versions. Subjective judgements of each of the
                 versions are also obtained. The results suggest that
                 these modifications can improve the discrimination of
                 symbols on screen. However, the graphic complexity of
                 symbols affects the type and extent of modifications
                 that can be made. This factor must therefore be
                 considered in any development of automatic instructions
                 for the rendering of symbols at low resolution.",
