1. A method of corner sharpening in the display of a bitmapped digital image, comprising:
rasterizing a digital image to produce a super resolution digital image;
identifying pixel locations about a corner structure in the super resolution digital image;
substituting pixel values in the identified pixel locations to achieve a clustering of the substituted pixel values about the corner structure producing a corner-enhanced digital image;
filtering and sampling according to an anti-alias operation to said corner-enhanced image to produce an anti-aliased corner enhanced image; and,
rendering said anti-aliased corner enhanced image.
