✦ Synopsis


A new slant-correction algorithm that searches for the minimum in the width space of a numeral, based on a binary search on the angular slant values, is presented here. It is based on the idea that if a numeral is transformed through a series of slanted positions, it usually attains its minimum width when it is least slanted.
