ABSTRACT:
The document display system comprises a first character shape generator, a first display and a first transmitter in a first terminal device; and a first receiver, a second character shape generator and a second display in a second terminal device. The first character shape generator generates the character shapes of characters constituting at least part of a document. The character shapes are generated in response to skeleton information and in response to shape generation information that includes information representing a typeface. The first display displays the characters with the character shapes generated by the first character shape generator so that the at least part of the document is displayed set in the typeface. The first transmitter transmits character information indicating the skeleton information for each of the characters. The first receiver receives skeleton information for each of the characters. The second character shape generator generates character shapes for the characters for which the first receiver receives the skeleton information. The character shapes are generated in response to the received skeleton information and in response to shape generation information. The second display displays the character shapes generated by the second character shape generator so that the at least part of the document is displayed set in the typeface.
