PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To decrease the number of pieces of data representing coordinate components of font data and to plot a character pattern with high quality. SOLUTION: By adding a connection situation flag showing a connection situation between adjacent segments to font data, date for one coordinate of Bezier control point showing skeleton line are omitted from font data, if 'G1 is continuous', and data for two coordinates of the control points are omitted to be stored in a font storage part 14 in the omitted form, if 'G2 is continuous'. Also, in the case of reading the font data, a control part 13 restores the omitted data based on the connection situation flag and generates and plots the character pattern based on the restored font data. |
