Image forming apparatus, and method and program for controlling image forming apparatus

Abstract

In a process of printing an arbitrary text string using a composite print function, in a case where font extension using a font of a display language is not possible, a character at a first position in the text string is extracted and a font is retrieved that allows font extension for the extracted character. Using the retrieved font, font extension is performed for the text string.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An image forming apparatus comprising:
 a registration unit configured to register an arbitrary text string to be used in composite printing on a print medium;   a determination unit configured to determine whether font extension using a font of a display language is possible for the arbitrary text string; and   a generation unit configured to generate a text string image to be added such that in a case where the font extension is possible, the text string image to be added is generated using a font of the display language, but in a case where the font extension is not possible, a font allowing the font extension is detected, and the text string image to be added is generated using the detected font.
