Character font generation method and apparatus therefor, and computer-readable recording medium recording character font generation program

摘要

A character font generation apparatus generates a font of a character for the output of the character to an output unit (15). First, whether the character specified through the operation of an input unit (14) can be output in a desired font based on a predetermined resolution of the output unit (15) or not is determined. If the result of determination indicates "output not allowed", a stroke of the character is omitted to reduce the size of the character to allow the correct output according to the predetermined resolution. The stroke omission is performed with reference to contents of a DB (database) memory (12) storing various information necessary for the character font generation and a priority determination rule (131) indicating various information for determining the priority of stroke omission, so as to maintain the balance of the character such as center and centroid thereof and to preserve the shape (contour) of the character.
