Abstract

A character processing apparatus comprises: parameter memory means for storing type parameters; display means for displaying a list of a plurality of type vector fonts on the basis of the type parameters; selecting means for selecting a plurality of type vector fonts displayed by the display means; and converting means for converting each of the vector fonts existing in a designated interval in a vector font train which are input from input means and displayed by the display means into the type vector fonts selected by the selecting means, wherein the modified vector fonts which are frequently used and correspond to fundamental vector fonts are previously registered, and when modified vector font patterns are formed, the registered modified vector font patterns are displayed and selected, thereby enabling the parameters for the modified vector font patterns to be easily set.
