ABSTRACT:
There is provided an output apparatus for outputting an image pattern by dots on the basis of a vector font. The apparatus comprises: a memory to store coordinate point data indicative of an outline of a pattern; a first mode to arrange into dots on the basis of the coordinate point data stored in the memory; a second mode to reduce the number of outline points than that in the first mode and to arrange into dots; a mode indicating device to indicate the first or second mode; and an output device to output dots in accordance with the first or second mode on the basis of the indication from the mode indicating device. By properly selecting the first or second mode, an image pattern can be displayed or printed by dots at a desired quality and a desired speed on the basis of the vector font.
