Printer generating font data to be used in drawing process to draw character designated in print data

Abstract

A printer includes a memory, a print engine, and a controller. The controller performs an acquisition process to acquire print data. When the print data is of a second type different from a first type, the controller performs a generation process to generate a new set of font data in the second format based on the set of font data in the first format stored in the memory. The first type of print data supports a set of font data in a first format. The second type of print data support a set of font data in a second format different from the first format. When the generation process is performed, the controller performs a drawing process to draw an image of a character designated in the print data using the new set of font data generated in the generation process.
