Printer referencing allocation information to identify target font file for drawing image of character

Abstract

A printer includes a memory, a print engine, and a controller. The controller performs a first acquisition process to acquire print data specifying a character, and a second acquisition process to acquire specific information from the print data. The specific information specifies a font. The controller performs an identification process to identify a target font file, using the piece of allocation information stored in the memory, from among the plurality of font files. The piece of allocation information is for associating the specific information with the target font file. The identification process references the piece of allocation information to identify the target font file associated with the specific information acquired in the second acquisition process. The controller performs a drawing process to draw an image of the character using the target font file to generate image data to be used in printing by the print engine.
