Abstract
A new character processing system has been developed in order to freely generate various style of characters on a personal computer. Center lines of each stroke of a letter are extracted from the bitmap data of the kanji ROM and the lines are expressed by equations of interpolation curves. Widths of strokes are classified and expressed by several function of the distance along the center line from its starting point. Because characters have been expressed by the equations of center lines and widths of strokes, arbitrary styles can be easily generated, which has been demonstrated by using Ming-style font.
