Abstract
A display device includes an operation portion, a display portion, a character designating portion, and a display control portion. The display control portion displays the at least one character on the display portion. The display control portion displays, in a case where the at least one character displayed on the display portion includes a predetermined special character and the number of at least one display lines is not less than a threshold value, a dot pattern for an alternate character instead of a dot pattern for the special character. The display control portion changes, in a case where a designated character is the alternate character, the dot pattern for the designated character displayed on the display portion to the dot pattern for the special character.
