Abstract

A system, method, and apparatus for displaying a character on a television or monitor screen are presented. The contents from a first memory location are fetched to determine the character and character attributes to be displayed. A graphical representation for the character to be displayed is then retrieved and overwritten based on the character attribute information of the character and a second character, such as an adjacent character.
