Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for inspecting created character patterns.

(b) Technical background In information processing systems using computers, t
*Character patterns are used to print and display information. This character pattern has different fonts and sizes. There are various kinds of things, and the power that is stored in memory devices such as childish disks in a mixed form (1, general.

By the way, in such a system, in addition to existing character patterns (hereinafter referred to as standard character patterns for the sake of clarity),
It is also a typeface with the same font but a different size, −
It is often necessary to create a new copy and register it in the storage means. In this case, before the registration process, it is necessary to check whether the font of the created character pattern is correct or not.For example, in the case of Mincho characters, the nature of the arrow part of the character "ear" shown in FIG. It is necessary to check whether the matters that belong to the so-called difference in design, such as "stopping" or "nulling", are correct or not.

(C) Conventional technology and problems Conventional 1. As a method for inspecting the created character pattern, the character pattern temporarily stored on a magnetic tape is printed out on paper using a printing device in a practical format, and the printed characters are
This is done artificially by comparing the characters with the corresponding characters in dictionaries such as ``Shinji Gen'' and ``One Major Kan-Japanese Dictionary''. However, this inspection method has the disadvantage that the work is not only very complicated but also requires a large amount of time, resulting in poor work efficiency.Furthermore, inspection errors are likely to occur because the printed characters and dictionary characters for verification are small. Ta.

fdl Purpose of the Invention In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a new method that enables highly accurate and efficient font inspection of created character patterns.

fe) Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the created character pattern inspection method of the present invention, when registering a created character pattern, checks the created character pattern and a standard character pattern of the same font as the same character pattern, respectively. The created character pattern and the standard character pattern are enlarged at a predetermined magnification and placed within a squared frame of the same size, and printed side by side on the same sheet of paper using a printing device, or printed on the same screen using a display device. This feature is characterized in that the fonts of the created character pattern are checked for correctness by displaying them side by side and comparing the two visualized character patterns.

(fl Embodiment of the Invention An embodiment of the invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram conceptually showing such an embodiment, in which 1 and 2 are magnetic tape devices, 3 is a keyboard, 4 is an interface, 5 is a control device, 6 is a printing device, and 7 is a printing control device. , 8 is a CRT display device, and 9 is a display control device.

Currently, a 46 x 55 matrix (253
Consider the case where a new character pattern "number" (0 dot) is created and its font is checked for correctness. First, this created character pattern is recorded and temporarily stored on a magnetic tape in the following manner in the same manner as the standard character pattern.

That is, as shown in Fig. 3, on the magnetic tape, before the data part D1 of the character pattern, a data part D2 containing the character number (3185) assigned to the dictionary, character attributes, and data processing code is attached. recorded. The magnetic tape with the standard character pattern stored in this way is stored in the first magnetic tape device 1, and the magnetic tape with the created character pattern is stored in the second magnetic tape device.

On the other hand, the keyboard 3 is used to manually enter data such as a corresponding character number or data processing code in the font correctness test of the created character pattern "number". Now assume that the data is keyed in from the keyboard 3. This input data is input to the control device 5 via the interface 4. Based on this input data, the control device 5 drives the first magnetic tape device 1 and the second magnetic tape device fW2, respectively, and searches for the corresponding standard character pattern and created character pattern from both magnetic tapes in the seven nodes. At the same time, the extracted character patterns are output by the print control device 7 from the printing device 6 such as a laser printer as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the standard character pattern "Number" indicated by the symbol A and the symbol B
Each created character pattern "number" shown in is multiplied by a predetermined number of the actual print size (8 times in the case of the figure), and combined with a frame 10 with 2530 squares in a 46 x 55 matrix corresponding to the size of the created character pattern. , are printed in parallel on the same paper 11. Furthermore, on the paper 11, in addition to the framed character patterns A and B, the characters "Number" in practical printing size are displayed at the lower left side of each frame 10, and the character number r00003185J and the data processing code rA
Bc4J is printed respectively. Since the standard character pattern has a smaller number of dots than the created character pattern, dummies of 4 dots and 5 dots are added to the lower side and the right side of the squared frame 10, respectively.

Now, the inspector visually compares the standard character pattern and the created character pattern printed in parallel on the same sheet of paper 11 with his or her own eyes to check whether the font of the created character pattern is correct. In the case of the figure, a font error in the design is recognized in the area surrounded by the dotted line X, but this is immediately discovered as a production error. Also, whether or not the created character pattern is stored correctly within a predetermined frame (matrix frame) according to the framed created character pattern B, that is, whether 1 to 2 dots (1 dot in the figure) are stored around the character pattern. ) can be inspected to see if the spaces are correctly provided, and furthermore, the overall character shape balance of the created character pattern in practical use can be inspected based on the printed character "number" of the practical printing size.

Note that the parallel output of both university patterns as described above can also be displayed on the screen of the CRT display device 8 using the display control device 9 in the same manner as the above-mentioned printing form.

(ff+ Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, the correctness of the font of the created character pattern can be easily checked in a short time, and the testing accuracy is very high. This is extremely useful in reducing costs and improving quality.
