Abstract
In a case that IC cards in which font data is stored are not mounted on an image forming apparatus, a font name of font data stored in a ROM provided in the apparatus is displayed on a control panel. In a case that the IC cards are mounted on the image forming apparatus, a CPU provided in the apparatus monitors the mount and detects the mounts, and a font name of font data stored in the mounted IC cards are displayed on the operation panel prior to the other font name. In other words, the image forming apparatus of this invention can select and display the font name of font data stored in the outer storing apparatus prior to the other font when the outer storing apparatus in which font data is stored is mounted on the image forming apparatus.
