ABSTRACT:
An outline font data is converted into dot data, based on which a dot image is printed. When an image represented by the outline font data has a very narrow portion or very steep end portion, whether or not dots have been prepared at picture elements surrounding that portion is examined. Then, a dot is prepared at a position that can smoothly connect those dots. Even at this narrow portion, no dots will strangely protrude from the entire shape of the produced dot image.
