ABSTRACT:
Character pattern data that are formed from outline data are stored. A thickening amount or a narrowing amount is input to thicken or narrow the character pattern. A coordinate value for the stored outline data is transformed based on the thickening amount or the narrowing amount that is input. A shape of an outline is determined when a transformation is to be performed, and coordinates that are to be transformed are adjusted based on a determination result. Since the adjustment is performed by referring to the shape of the outline, character data, such as bit map data and gray scale data, of high quality can be provided.
