ABSTRACT:
A data converting apparatus having a dot data preparing device for converting outline data representative of an outline of a visible representation such as characters, into dot data comprising dot-forming bits indicative of image dots to be formed at positions of respective picture elements which correspond to each stroke of the visible representation. The apparatus includes a discontinuity detector for detecting a discontinuous portion of each stroke as defined by the image dots to be formed according to the dot-forming bits, by checking the dot-forming bits to determine whether the image dots represented by the dot-forming bits are discontinuous along the outline of the stroke. The apparatus further includes a discontinuity eliminator for processing the outline data prior to the conversion of the outline data into the dot data, such that the dot data prepared by the dot data preparing means include dot-forming bits indicative of image dots to be formed at positions of respective picture elements which correspond to the discontinuous portion.
