Abstract
The interactive character font pattern creation, editing and composition control device comprises transforming a printed font into a dot string data of '0', '1' on a drum scanner or the like, expanding the dot string data of font patterns loaded in a font pattern file to a storage to displaying on a display terminal. When a terminal user executes commands for noise deletion, automatic centering, translation, rotation, scaling/zooming, and creation of a revised font pattern through composing a plurality of font patterns to the font pattern given on a display screen, the device applies an operation according to the commands with an original font pattern expanded in the storage as input, loads it then in a storage for storing a current font pattern and displays the current font pattern on the display screen of the terminal.
