Information processing apparatus and control method thereof, and program

A method of controlling an information processing apparatus, which sets typeface information used for an input character when the character is newly input in a character string in which typeface information is set for each character, comprising:

• an acquisition step of acquiring typeface information of a first character and typeface information of a second character, which are located before and after a position of the input character;
• a first setting step of setting, when the typeface information of the first character and the typeface information of the second character acquired in the acquisition step include the same typeface, the typeface as typeface information used for the input character;
• and
• a second setting step of executing, when the typeface information of the first character and the typeface information of the second character acquired in the acquisition step include different typeface, parsing the character string including the input character,
• wherein said second setting step,
• a) when it is parsed that the input character string is part of words including the first character, sets typeface information used for the input character to the same typeface information of the first character,
• b) when it is parsed that the input character string is part of words including the second character, sets typeface information used for the input character to the same typeface information of the second character.

A computer program which is stored in a non-transitory computer-readable medium and makes a computer control an information processing apparatus, which sets typeface information used for an input character when the character is newly input in a character string in which lent typeface information is set for each character, said program characterized by making the computer execute:

• an acquisition step of acquiring typeface information of a first character and lent typeface information of a second character, which are located before and after a position of the input character;
• a first setting step of setting, when the typeface information of the first character and typeface information of the second character acquired in the acquisition step include the same typeface, the typeface as typeface information used for the input character;
• and a second setting step of executing, when the typeface information of the first character and the typeface information of the second character acquired in the acquisition step include different typeface, parsing the character string including the input character, wherein said second setting step, a) when it is parsed that the input character string is part of words including the first character, sets typeface information used for the input character to the same typeface information of the first character, b) when it is parsed that the input character string is part of words including the second character, sets typeface information used for the input character to the same typeface information of the second character.
