When a handwritten character is inputted with a pen of a pen input device, a handwritten character recognition unit recognizes the character according to coordinate data of the character. Also, a handwritten area judge unit judges the size of the character and a blank area according to a range of preset areas passed though the handwriting. A character font determination unit detects a character font from a plurality of character fonts to correspond to the character size judged by the handwritten area judge unit. The determined character font is outputted to a display device and the like.
