Abstract
A character display apparatus of the present invention is a character display apparatus for displaying a character on a screen based on stroke data containing character information, comprising a control section for setting a color element level for a subpixel overlapping a basic portion of the character, based on both or either a distance between a center of the subpixel and at least one dot contained in a stroke or a line width set for the stroke. According to the present invention, the resolution of subpixels can be apparently improved and the line width of a character can be freely changed without a large amount of working memory.
