Men det er bare ikke den rigtige betegnelse i dette tilfælde.
Knibning er når man gør afstanden mindre imellem bogstaverne i
sit DTP-program, men den funktion jeg hentyder til, er indbygget
i outline-fonte, som forhindrer, at de bliver rasteriseret på en
uheldig måde.
Her er det f.eks. nævnt:

Citat:
| An outline font must be represented by the dots of the output
| device, whether it´s screen pixels or the dots of a laser,
| ink-jet or wire-pin printer. The process of converting the
| outline to a pattern of dots on the grid of the device is called
| "rasterization." When there aren´t enough dots making up the
| glyph (such as at small sizes or low resolutions), there can be
| inconsistencies in the representation of certain letter
| features, at a single size, due to different rounding based on
| how the outline happens to sit on the grid.

| A common form of this is that the widths of the letter stems can
| vary when they shouldn´t. Worse, key features of the glyphs can
| disappear at small sizes. However, PostScript Type 1 and
| TrueType fonts both have a means of dealing with these
| inconsistencies, called "hinting." This consists of additional
| information encoded in the font to help prevent these problems.
