Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to the generation of half-width character fonts, and in particular, to a full-width/half-width character font conversion method for generating half-width character fonts by utilizing existing full-width character font data. Regarding.

(Prior Art) Conventional half-width character fonts used in word processors, personal computers, etc. were created by designing new fonts to match full-width character fonts.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Therefore, in the conventional half-width character font generation method, it is necessary to design a font for each character, which requires a huge amount of design time, and also requires a character font for storing half-width character font information. The disadvantage is that the memory capacity 1 becomes large.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a full-width/half-width character font conversion method that eliminates the time required to create a new half-width character font and reduces the capacity of half-width character font memory by using a full-width character font. It is about providing.

(Tth Means to Solve the Problem) In order to achieve the above object, the full-width/half-width character font conversion method according to the present invention is based on the vertical m
Dot x horizontal 2n dots for each line of 2n dots
Each line is divided into n dots, and n OR values of each are lined up to form n dots in each row.

(Actual Stream Side) The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 are diagrams showing an embodiment of a full-width/half-width character font conversion method according to the present invention.

In this example, FIG. 1 is the original double-width character,
It is a font with 12 lines vertically and 12 lines horizontally.

FIG. 2 shows half-width characters generated by applying full-width/half-width character font conversion to the full-width characters shown in FIG. 1, and is a font with 12 vertical lines and 6 horizontal lines.

As an example, the process of generating row e' in FIG. 2 from row e in FIG. 1 will be explained.

Figure 1 Line e = χ Black = 1, expressed as white - ○, Line e = 000
It becomes 000110010.

Divide this into 6 pieces each with 42 dots (00) (:00
)Coo)l:xt)Coo)(to:),
When each ORg is taken, e' row=000101 is generated.

By performing seven operations similar to those described above in each line (a-n) of FIG. 1, a half-width character n of 12 vertical by 6 horizontal in FIG. 2 is obtained.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above in detail, the present invention is to divide each line of full-width characters into n dots of 2n dots (IY) adjacent to each other, and arrange them with an OR value of 'In to form n dots in each line. You can create half-width character fonts similar to 9 full-width characters.

Therefore, there is no need for design skills for half-width character design fonts, and there is an effect that memo IJY for half-width characters can be reduced.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

Figure 1 shows 12 vertical dots x 1 horizontal dot, which is the basis for half-width character generation.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the font size of two-dot double-byte characters. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a font 2 of half-width characters of 12 vertical dots x 6 beak dots generated from the double-width characters of FIG. 1. a, b, c-n, a', b', c'+-n' m character dot line number,

Claims (1)

[Claims] Each row of 2n dots of a full-width character of m dots vertically x 2n dots horizontally, expressed as black = 1 and white = 0, is divided into n pieces of 2 adjacent dots, and each row is made with n dots by arranging n OR values. A full-width/half-width character font conversion method characterized by generating half-width characters of m dots vertically by n dots horizontally.
