Storage medium having preloaded font information, and apparatus for and method of reproducing data from storage medium

摘要

An interactive optical storage medium, an apparatus for and a method of reproducing data from the interactive optical storage medium. The interactive optical storage medium includes A/V data including audio or video data, and interactive data, which forms an interactive screen and includes a command to preload fonts relating to a content of the interactive screen into a memory of a reproducing apparatus during a seamless reproduction of the AV data. A font to be used is preloaded into the memory of the reproducing apparatus before an AV data screen of A/V data and a content screen of the interactive data, which are simultaneously reproduced in the interactive screen, are changed into a new interactive screen, thereby assuring the seamless reproduction of the A/V data screen.
