摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily and accurately generate a font similar to the handwritten character of a user by indicating the font kind of an input character pattern by the similarity degrees of the input character pattern and the plural kinds of the fonts. SOLUTION: Input character pattern data from a character segmentation part 12 are read first and character code data which are recognized results are obtained from a character recognition part 14. The fonts corresponding to the character code data are respectively fetched from font data storage parts 16a, 16b and 16c. In a similarity degree detection part 18, the shapes of the character pattern data and the font data of respective font kinds are compared, the similarity degrees are detected and the similarity rate (synthesis rate) of the font of the inputted character pattern data is outputted from the plural similarity degrees with the plural kinds of the fonts. Thus, even when the same font kind as the input character pattern is not present, the font kind of the input pattern is indicated.
