Information processing apparatus and display method for sorting and displaying font priority

A display method executed by an information processing apparatus including a receiving unit configured to receive user identification information, a display unit configured to display characters, a user language holding unit configured to hold a list of display languages associated with each of plural pieces of user identification information, a device language holding unit configured to hold language information about a display language used in a region where the information processing apparatus is installed, the method comprising:

• generating a font priority list that is a new list indicating priority orders of languages to be displayed on the information processing apparatus on a basis of the list of display languages held by the user language holding unit and the language information held by the device language holding unit in response to user's logging in to the information processing apparatus,
• wherein the font priority list is generated such that, by shifting priority orders of display languages of second highest and subsequent priorities in the list held by the user language holding unit, a priority order of the display language held by the device language holding unit has the second highest priority in the list, and
• wherein, in the font priority list, the display language held by the device language holding unit, which has the second highest priority in the font priority list, does not overlap with the other languages in the font priority list.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium which stores a computer program which causes a computer including a receiving unit configured to receive user identification information, a display unit configured to display characters, a user language holding unit configured to hold a list of display languages associated with each of plural pieces of user identification information, and a device language holding unit configured to hold language information about a display language used in a region where the information processing apparatus is installed to function as:

• a font priority list control unit configured to generate a font priority list that is a new list indicating priority orders of languages to be displayed on the information processing apparatus on a basis of the list of display languages held by the user language holding unit and the language information held by the device language holding unit in response to user's logging in to the information processing apparatus,
• wherein the font priority list is generated such that, by shifting priority orders of display languages of second highest and subsequent priorities in the list held by the user language holding unit, a priority order of the display language held by the device language holding unit has the second highest priority in the list, and
• wherein, in the font priority list, the display language held by the device language holding unit, which has the second highest priority in the font priority list, does not overlap with the other languages in the font priority list.
