ABSTRACT:
A character output device comprises a storage section for storing typeface property data consisting of quantitative and qualitative information of the specific parts of specific characters that are commonly possessed by a plural number of fonts, a distance calculating section for calculating a distance between typeface property of a font the use of which is requested and any of other fonts than the use requested font, and a font selector section for selecting, on the basis of the calculation result, a font of which the typeface property is closest to the typeface property of the use requested font. In the character output device, when a font with the same typeface as that of the use requested font is not retained in the character output device, a control section and a character development processor section cooperatively substitute the typeface of the retained font selected by the font selector section for the typeface of the use requested font to perform a character processing. An output section outputs the result of the character processing.
