Abstract

A method for producing character patterns by planting a bit pattern of a specified character into a bit map memory. The character-bit pattern corresponding to each specified character is read out of a storage region in a font memory. The storage region is composed of a plurality of regions each of which stores the smallest possible character-bits for the individual pattern to be planted.
