Abstract: A method and apparatus for high resolution character generation using a character generating apparatus having a first central processing unit with memory and input and output devices for processing and outputting character information, and a second central processing unit with different memory units and circuit arrangement electrically coupled with the first central processing unit for receiving character information and outputting processed character data information to produce resultant characters in various forms. The method includes the steps of preparing a character pattern description information for Chinese characters for being input into the character generating apparatus, and constructing a stroke table, a radical table and a specific symbol table for Chinese characters and other language letters for being stored in different memory units of the second central processing unit.
