ABSTRACT:
A character pattern generating apparatus includes a memory and a CPU. The memory stores, in advance, character skeleton data representing the skeleton shapes of characters and element outline data representing the outline shapes of the elements constituting the characters for each character style. The CPU obtains outline shape data corresponding to one constituent element in character skeleton data from the element outline data, extracts therefrom element skeleton data for the constituent element, transforms the extracted element skeleton data based on the character skeleton data, and modifies the outline shape data in accordance with the transformation so as to generate a character pattern by using the modified outline data. The character pattern generating apparatus of the present invention generates multiple kinds of high quality fonts involving no design restrictions in a smaller number of steps.
