The sentence line interval or the character interval is maintained to be a predetermined interval. The control device includes a data storage section (102) for storing a plurality of character data in advance, a character type judgment section (104) for identifying predetermined special characters contained in the character string, and a layout calculation section (106) for controlling a display section (107) when the character type judgment section (104) identifies a special character so that a character immediately before and after the special character are displayed adjacently, thereby maintaining the meaning of the vertical character string (sentence) and the special character or a graphic predetermined according to the type of the special character is displayed immediately before the special character at the adjacent interval.
