PCT No. PCT/JP91/00261 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 27, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 27, 1991 PCT Filed Feb. 27, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO91/13427 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 5, 1991.The system for generating dot signals corresponding to a character pattern on the basis of outline information of a character pattern described by only straight lines comprises a section 6 for deciding end points of straight lines constituting outlines on the basis of the outline information. In response to end point information decided by this section 6, a DDA calculating section 7 continuously generates information indicative of a pair of points constituting two straight lines, respectively in such a way that two straight lines can be extended from one end point selected from the decided end points toward two end points adjacent thereto. The generated information indicative of a pair of points is inputted to a straight line generating section 8 for generating a straight line composed of dot signals between a pair of the points. These dot signals correspond to a character pattern. As described above, dot signals corresponding to a character pattern can be obtained directly from outline information described by only straight lines.
