METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DISPLAYING MIXED SIZED FONTS FOR CHARACTER BASED DISPLAYS

A method for displaying a representation of a character on a computer display includes receiving a first primary character string comprising at least one character selected from a primary character set. The method also includes receiving a first desired location for displaying a representation of the first primary character. The method also includes generating a plurality of intermediate character strings corresponding to the first primary character string. The intermediate character strings include at least one intermediate character selected from a predefined intermediate character set. The predefined intermediate character set is defined before receiving the first primary character string and includes a plurality of intermediate characters each corresponding to a fractional portion of a primary character in the primary character set. The method also includes displaying representations of the plurality of intermediate character strings on the computer display in a location sufficient to display the representation of the primary character string at the first desired location.
