Abstract: A computer-implemented method is made available for processing a character string for a graphical representation on a man/machine interface, wherein each character of the character string is represented by a glyph saved in a font library. The glyph assigned to each character provides at least one outline for the character. The method comprises the steps of retrieving at least the outline of each character of the character string from the font library, generating, on the basis of the retrieved outlines, a single path object representing the character string, which comprises at least the outlines of all the characters of the character string, and transferring the path object to a graphics interface for the purpose of graphical representation of the path object. Furthermore, a module for implementing the method is specified.
