PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the missing of data by converting the coordinate values into integers by repeating the processing to integrate N lines to one line and to develop this line to dot patterns in accordance with magnified contour coordinate point data. SOLUTION: An input section 1 inputs code information, such as character codes of the characters to be displayed or printed and type face codes, and character sizes. A contour coordinate data memory section 2 stores the coordinate data of an outline font in accordance with the code information inputted from the input section 1. A variable magnification processing section 4 executes transformation of the contour coordinate point data so as to meet desired character sizes. A y coordinate magnification processing section 5 executes the magnification conversion of N times with respect to the y coordinate of the contour coordinate point data after the variable magnification. A dot pattern development section 6 integrates the N lines to one line and develops the line to the dot patterns and repeats the processing to combine and develop the lines by as much as the character size component in a y direction in accordance with the contour coordinate point data by which the y coordinate is magnified N times. |
