Abstract

In a method and system for imaging a text by using a different font than that designated when formatting or by changing a character size, a row area width a character sequence width and a total blank width at imaging are calculated based on row area information for arranging rows of the text, character sequence information of words of each row, character size information for layouting and character size information for imaging, the total blank width is substantially evenly divided to calculate a word interval. A starting word is positioned at a right edge of the row area and other words are positioned with the word interval to determine the character sequence position for imaging, and the rows are outputted. Thus, the word interval is properly adjusted, no words are split and natural imaging is attained.
