ABSTRACT:
When a character of a basic font to be used for character formation and a font to be applied to the character are designated through a key board, an element shape recognizing unit and a regular shape recognizing unit select component piece data to be used, among those stored in an element portion pasting-use component piece data storing unit and a regular shape portion pasting-use component piece data storing unit, in accordance with the information thus supplied. The element shape recognizing unit and the regular shape recognizing unit detect target portions to which component pieces are to be pasted, among the portions of the character of the basic font which was designated through the key board. The character data synthesizing unit pastes the component pieces thus selected to the target portions thus detected by the element shape recognizing unit and the regular shape recognizing unit so as to synthesize the character data.
