PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image display device that has a high font display speed and that has the ability of receiving other programs during the font display. SOLUTION: The image display device includes an outline data storing part, an arithmetic part, a plotting parameter storing part, a plotting part, and a display part. The arithmetic part, for every character data of character data line, is capable of carrying out a series of processes in parallel in a separate sled for each character, consisting of a reading process for reading corresponding outline data from the outline data storing part, a calculating process for calculating a plotting parameter from the outline data read in the reading process, and a generating process for controlling the plotting part from the plotting parameter calculated in the calculating process, plotting characters, shaping the characters plotted, and generating character display data. In addition, if the use ratio of the arithmetic part is low, the device carries out a process for the next character data in parallel in a separate sled. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
