Abstract:
A method and apparatus for utilizing a digital computer to print characters of multiple fonts, both textually and graphically, on a single printer from within a single document [is disclosed]. Existing computer programs provide the capability of printing pre-defined textual characters or graphical characters separately, but not in an integrated manner as is disclosed. Thus, the invention enables printing of a variety of mixed characters, such as international alphabetic characters and complex mathematical characters, within a single document.
