ABSTRACT:
A character processing apparatus for arbitrarily setting a character pitch when a mathematical formula is input. This apparatus includes: a memory to store character patterns corresponding to character pitches; a keyboard to input character information to read out the character pattern to be displayed from the memory; a display device to display at least the character patterns; a designating device to designate the character pitch of the character pattern to be displayed; a cursor display device for changing the display form of the cursor to designate the display position to display the character pattern in correspondence to the character pitch designated by the designating device, and for displaying the changed display form; and a display controller which, when the character information is input by the keyboard, reads out the character pattern corresponding to the character information from the memory at the display position of the cursor displayed by the cursor display device on the basis of the character pitch corresponding to the cursor display form. With this apparatus, the character pitch and line interval are adjusted. When a mathematical formula is input, the character string constituting this formula can be displayed and printed with a good balance.
