1. A method for improving resolution of a digital representation having a plurality of text or graphics pixels, comprising the steps of: identifying a text or graphics pixel on a boundary of a text or graphics object of the digital representation; and for each text or graphics pixel identified as on the boundary tracing a group of pixels, including the initial boundary-identified pixel, that constitute a local boundary segment and constructing an identifier for that local boundary segment; parameterizing and smoothing that local boundary segment, resulting in a new local boundary segment, by computing instructions for parameterizing and smoothing that local boundary segment; and rendering the parameterized and smoothed boundary segment to improve the resolution of the text or graphics object.
