A character pattern generating apparatus capable of easily generating characters of a plurality of different fonts

摘要

The character pattern generating apparatus includes a character data storing unit for storing character data including dot string data expressing a skeletal form of each of one or more strokes constituting a character pattern of a selected font; A skeleton deformation data storage unit for storing skeleton deformation data for modifying skeleton data of a character such that a character has a font different from the selected font; A skeletal data transformation device for transforming skeletal data of the skeletal data storage unit by using transformation data of the skeletal transformation data storage unit when the skeletal shape is changed; And a contour data generation device for generating contour data of characters based on the modified skeleton data. Accordingly, there is provided a character pattern generating apparatus in which a plurality of different character fonts or patterns having a smaller memory consumption and a simple process are generated.
