ABSTRACT:
Output apparatus that converts vector font data into dot font data in accordance with a change in output resolution has a first memory to store dot font data and a second memory to store vector font data. A change instruction circuit can instruct a change of output resolution. Whether dot font data of an output resolution corresponding to the change exists in the first memory is discriminated and a converter converts the vector font data in the second memory into the dot font data according to the changed output resolution on the basis of the instruction from the change instruction circuit and the result of the discrimination.
