Does anyone have any references on algorithms to reduce a bitmap significantly
with minimal loss of resolution. Specifically, I would like to reduce font
bitmaps from 2-4 times and not have them turn into formless blobs. As an 
example, take a 300dpi font and reduce it to 75dpi and retain readability.
