Abstract
A document processing apparatus and method inputs character code information corresponding to a character to be output, stores a character or symbol pattern in the form of a plurality of fonts, discriminates whether a character or a symbol pattern to be output exists across a plurality of lines, generates one character or a symbol pattern existing across a single line from one stored font based on one character code of the input character code information in the event that the character or symbol pattern to be output is discriminated to exist, across only a single line, and generates one character or symbol pattern existing across a plurality of lines from the plurality of stored fonts based on one character code of the input character code information in the event that the character or symbol pattern to be output is discriminated to exist across a plurality of lines.
