Summary:A method of modifying drawing commands to be input to a rendering process is disclosed. The method detects a first glyph drawing command and detects a predetermined number of further glyph drawing commands proximate within a threshold of the first glyph drawing command. The predetermined number of proximate glyph drawing commands is accumulated. The accumulated proximate glyph drawing commands are combined into a 1-bit depth bitmap. The 1-bit depth bitmap is output to the rendering process as a new drawing command.
