PURPOSE:To shorten a drawing processing time and to speed up outline font development processing by providing plural outline font drawing means and performing the drawing processing of counter line elements of an outline font assigned to a corresponding memory unit simultaneously. CONSTITUTION:Memory units 111 - 11n are stored with divided elements of respective contour lines forming the outline font of the same characters and the characters are drawn. Further, outline font drawing means 121 - 12n are provided corresponding to the memory units 111 - 11n and contour line elements of the outline font assigned to the memory units 111 - 11n are drawn simultaneously. A painting-out means 13 paints out internal areas of the outline font according to the contour line element parts of the outline font drawn on the respective memory units 111 - 11n. Consequently, the time required to draw the contour lines of the character font is shortened and the outline development processing is speeded up. |
