ABSTRACT:
A squared character region for a letter is partitioned into three partitive regions arranged in a longitudinal direction to partition the letter. Thereafter, a right fit position of a portion of the letter placed at the most right side in a partitive region is determined for each of the partitive regions. Therefore, the right fit positions indicate right shape features of the letter. Thereafter, a right minimum fit position indicating the most right position among the right fit positions is determined, a right proportional position is regarded as a right kerning position in a partitive region relating to the right minimum fit position, and another right kerning position is set between the right minimum fit position and the right fit position for each of remaining partitive regions. Also, a left kerning position is determined in the same manner for each of the partitive regions. A minimum character region for the letter is defined as an enclosed region specified by the right and left kerning positions, and letters of a character string are put close together by connecting minimum character regions determined for the letters in series on condition that the minimum character regions are not overlapped each other.
