Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a storage device that stores font data including a character code and outline data in association with the character code, the outline data being used to render a character specified by the character code; and a text processing unit configured to obtain, from the font data, the outline data in association with the character code included in the printable data, and a character rendering unit configured to process the outline data by changing a coordinate of a stroke, thickness of each line, and/or an interval between characters to thereby create processed outline data, the stroke being a center line of each line included in an object of the character rendered by using the outline data, and render an object of the character by using the processed outline data to thereby render the character specified by the same character code as a different object.
