Method and apparatus for processing characters using pattern data conversion

摘要

A character processing apparatus for converting data stored in a vector form into a pattern of a dot form and outputting comprises: a discriminating circuit to discriminate the number of points constructing curve data in the data of the vector form; and a selector to select the kind of curve to be generated in accordance with the number of points constructing the curve data on the basis of the discrimination result by the discriminating circuit. A Bezier curve or a B spline curve is selected as a curve to be generated.
