ABSTRACT:
An apparatus including a converting device for converting vector data of an input character into dot data for outputting the input character in a specified mode, a memory for storing the dot data, and a controller operable prior to the data conversion, for determining whether one of a first and a second case is satisfied. The first case is satisfied where the dot data to be prepared from the vector data of the input character are stored in the memory, and the second case is satisfied where basic dot data for outputting the input character in a mode different from the specified mode are stored in said dot data memory means. The converting device omits the data conversion in the first and second cases. A dot data changing device operable in the second case is provided to change the basic dot data according to a predetermined rule depending upon the specified and different modes, so as to obtain the dot data for outputting the input character in the specified mode.
