Abstract, A character pattern storage and display device comprises a circuit for storing information descriptive of a character, information representative of the amount of downward shift to be effected to a pattern of the character information representative of the width of the character to be displayed and, where the character is to be displayed with its width changed, information representative of the start position of an actual character in the information stored. A control circuit moves the position at which the character is displayed on the basis of this information. The result is a system in which the information can be stored in a memory of reduced capacity.
