ABSTRACT:
A character output apparatus including a memory for storing a first type of character pattern definition having a bit map form and a second type of character pattern definition which can be output in bit map form by an arithmetic operating process. A selection is made whether a first output process using the first type of character pattern definition or a second output process using the second type of character definition is used for outputting a given character pattern. A determination is made whether a prescribed condition is satisfied upon generation of the character pattern in accordance with the first or second output process selected. The selected first or second output process is changed to the other one if it is determined that the prescribed condition is not satisfied.
