Abstract

Methods and apparatus for composite font editing in a DTP system. A font file stores multiple different fonts. A composite font editor can select two or more different fonts to create a composite font. A composite font file stores the created composite font. The composite font editor can display a composite font dialog box on the screen of a display device. The composite font dialog box contains a sample window with sample text of the composite font. An icon is provided for controlling display/non-display of at least one reference line associated with the font of the sample text displayed in the sample window in response to a user input.
