Abstract
A printer adapted to receive from an external device printing data including character code data representative of characters to be printed, and font data defining characters in a predetermined typestyle. A converting device is provided to convert the received font data into converted font data which define the characters in the predetermined typestyle, in a format different from the format of the received font data, so that the characters represented by the character code data are printed according to the converted font data. The converted font data are sent to and stored in the external device, or alternatively the converted font data are stored in a non-volatile memory of the printer for storage therein even after removal of electric power from the printer, so that the converted font data in the external device or the non-volatile memory can be re-used.
