Theoretically, this can be explained as follows. The filter has width of
$6 * \sigma = 6 * 1.4 = 8.4$ pixels. The width of a `stroke' in a character is,
$6 * \sigma = 6 * 1.6 = 9.6$ pixels. The width of a `stroke' in a character is,
after our resize operations, around 8 pixels. This means, our filter `matches'
the smallest detail size we want to be able to see, so everything that is
smaller is properly suppressed, yet it retains the details we do want to keep,
