A method for constructing ideographic characters by means of a character generator and displaying such characters within a standard character area of a display device coupled to the character generator. The method includes storing data in the character generator corresponding to (a) character components used for forming the ideographic characters, (b) information regarding the position within the standard character area of the character components associated with each ideographic character and (c) information regarding the size of the ones of the character components associated with each ideographic character. A character code is fed into the character generator to identify the ideographic character to be displayed and display control signals are emitted in accordance with the stored data relating to the ideographic character identified by the character code fed-in for displaying the associated character components arranged in the standard character area of the display device according to the stored position and size information.

Method for construction and display of ideographic characters

Method for altering the supply of characters which are represented by data stored in the character generator of an ideographic typewriter and which can be displayed, under control of the character generator, in at least one standard character area of a display device for the display of ideographic characters, which method includes: displaying, in the standard character area, a first character for which data is already stored in the character generator; reducing the size of the first character displayed in the standard character area with respect to at least one dimension of the character if required; displaying, in the standard character area, at least one further character for which data is already stored in the character generator, to create a new character constituted by the first and further characters as thus displayed; and storing in the character generator data representing the new character which then forms part of the supply of characters.
