Abstract
A document processing apparatus for inputting, type-setting and displaying the document information includes a type-setting section for type-setting a document information in a batch process, by receiving it in a unit of page, and a display section for displaying the document information type-set by said type-setting section, by receiving it in a unit of a page.
Claims9
A document processing apparatus having a server-client type window system, said apparatus comprising:
- ratio calculation means for calculating a ratio of a size of an original document to a size of a window to display the document;
- size calculation means for calculating a character size in the document to be displayed in the window according to a character size in the original document and according to the ration calculated by said ratio calculation means;
- determination means for determining whether a character font for the character size calculated by said size calculation means exists in a client;
- and
- control means, if said determination means determines that the character font exists in the client, for size-changing the character font and sending bit map data obtained from the size-changed character font to a server to cause the server to display a character in the window based on the bit map data, and if said determination means determines that the character font does not exist in the client, for searching the server for a closest character font, setting the closest font as a designated font and sending a character code for the designated font to the server to cause the server to display a character in the window based on the character code.

A method carried out in a document processing apparatus having a server-client type window system, comprising:
- a ratio calculation step of calculating a ratio of a size of an original document to a size of a window to display the document;
- a size calculation step of calculating a character size in the document to be displayed in the window according to a character size in the original document and according to the ratio calculated in said ratio calculation step;
- a determination step of determining whether a character font for the character size calculated in said size calculation step exists in a client;
- and
- a control step, if it is determined in said determination step that the character font exists in the client, of reducing the character font and sending bit map data obtained from the reduced character font to a server to cause the server to display a character in the window based on the bit map data, and if it is determined in said determination step that the character font does not exist in the client, of searching the server for a closest character font, setting the closest font as a designated font and sending a character code for the designated font to the server to cause the server to display a character in the window based on the character code.

A memory medium having computer-readable program code means embodied therein, said computer-readable program code means controlling a method carried out in a document processing apparatus having a server-client type window system, said method comprising:
- a ratio calculation step of calculating a ratio of a size of an original document to a size of a window to display the document;
- a size calculation step of calculating a character size in the document to be displayed in the window according to a character size in the original document and according to the ratio calculated in said ratio calculation step;
- a determination step of determining whether a character font for the character size calculated in said size calculation step exists in a client;
- and
- a control step, if it is determined in said determination step that the character font exists in the client, of reducing the character font and sending bit map data obtained from the reduced character font to a server to cause the server to display a character in the window based on the bit map data, and if it is determined in said determination step that the character font does not exist in the client, of searching the server for a closest character font, setting the closest font as a designated font and sending a character code for the designated font to the server to cause the server to display a character in the window based on the character code.
