Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, when using a printer-mounted font as an alternative font, the printing speed becomes faster, but there is a large difference in appearance between the display on the PC screen and the printed matter
On the other hand, when the font shape data of the requested font is downloaded from the PC to the output device, there will be little difference in appearance between the display on the PC screen and the printed matter, but the printing speed will decrease due to the increase in the amount of data transfer. slow

Embodiment Construction

[0047] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0048]

[0049] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of a document output system according to an embodiment of the present invention. This document output system is composed of a plurality of personal computers (hereinafter, simply referred to as "PC") 10, an output device (printer) 20, and a server 30 as a font downloading device. The plurality of PCs 10 , output devices 20 , and servers 30 are connected to each other via a LAN (Local Area Network) 40 . Various application software are executed on the PC 10 . For example, the generation of various documents based on document generation software, the generation of accounting affairs documents based on table calculation software, etc. At this time, the operator can use characters of various fonts. Furthermore, when the output device 20 prints out a document or the like gene...

Abstract

Font downloading apparatus and font downloading method are provided in the invention. When a printing condition is assigned before printing out, a printing condition setting interface part displays a printing condition setting screen including a font processing selecting screen. An operator can select how to process fonts from among predetermined items in the font processing selecting screen, when the fonts that are not held in an output device exist in a document. In addition, the operator assigns a desired size and can thereby set so as to replace the fonts having a size no larger than the assigned size with the fonts held in the output device. A converting part converts a document that has been created in an application part into a print job including a control code and image data and the like for the output device, based on a condition that has been set in the printing condition setting screen.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device (font downloading device), a program (font downloading program), a font downloading method, and a recording medium for downloading font data required for printout to an output device such as a network printer. Background technique [0002] In recent years, when creating a document (document) on a personal computer (hereinafter, simply referred to as "PC"), a user can select various types of fonts (fonts). Therefore, in user-generated documents, characters of various types of fonts can be included. Also, generally, a PC is connected to an output device such as a network printer, so that a document generated by the PC can be printed by the output device as necessary. However, fonts that can be selected when a PC is used to generate a document may not be included in the fonts held by the output device (hereinafter referred to as "printer-mounted fonts"). In such a case, the output device cannot print out the sam...
