Abstract (en)

A font display and text editing system 10 is disclosed. The system includes a display medium 40 on which alphabetical characters may be displayed. A memory 24 stores digital information describing the shape of each alphabetical character of a plurality of sets of alphabetical characters. Each set of alphabetical characters defines a respective font. A human responsive input device 38 permits the user of the system to elect from the sets of alphabetical characters an alphabetical character to be displayed at a specific location on the display medium 40. The input device 38 generates a signal indicative of the alphabetical character selected by the user. A circuit 12-22 and 26-36 responsive to the signal generated by the input device causes the selected alphabetical character to be displayed at the location on the display medium.
