ABSTRACT:
It is an object to convert to outline font data that is closer to an actual character outline. A check is made to see if the data read out from a memory is which one of straight line data and curve data. In case of the curve data, a check is made to see if an extremum exists in a curve formed by the curve data. If YES, the curve is divided into segments at the position of the extremum. The curve data obtained by dividing the curve into the segments and the straight line data judged to be the straight line are stored in the memory, thereby realizing the object.
