Abstract
A method and apparatus for combining a character pattern of a first typeface with a character pattern of a second typeface to generate a character pattern of a third typeface, wherein searching for corresponding part patterns or contour points among part patterns constituting a character pattern of the first typeface and part patterns or contour points among part patterns constituting a character pattern of the second typeface is performed, based on identical code data affixed to the corresponding part patterns or contour points. The corresponding part patterns or contour points are combined to prepare part patterns or contour points of a character pattern of the third typeface. The apparatus has a typeface data memory having a first typeface file for storing individual part patterns of each character pattern of the first typeface with code data being affixed to the part patterns, and a second typeface memory for storing individual part patterns of each character pattern of the second typeface with the same code data affixed to the part patterns of the first typeface being affixed to corresponding part patterns of the each character pattern of the second typeface which correspond to the part patterns of the first typeface. A character processing circuit is provided for combining corresponding part patterns, affixed with the same code data to prepare part patterns of a character pattern of the third typeface.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
