Abstract

An apparatus for executing an application on a virtual machine, directed to setting a font size of a font in detail, includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a font size specified by the application operating on the virtual machine and font setting data including a font size conversion rule, and a control unit configured to control a display apparatus to display a font with a font size based on the specified font size and the font setting data.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus for executing a plurality of applications, the apparatus comprising:
 at least one processor; and   memory coupled to the at least one processor, the memory having instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to function as:   an acquisition unit configured to acquire a font size specified by one of the   
       plurality of applications and font setting data including a font size conversion rule including a plurality of font size ranges for classifying a specified font size and a displayed font size which is related with at least one of the plurality of font size ranges, wherein the font size conversion rule included in the font setting data is common for the plurality of applications; and
 a setting unit configured to set a font size based on the specified font size and the font setting data for display. 
 
     
     
         2 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the font data includes a scalable font and a bitmap font. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein a font style conversion rule is included in the font setting data. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the font setting data includes font metrics for each font size. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a disabling unit configured to disable a function of automatically changing a font type to a bold font. 
     
     
         6 . A method of an apparatus for executing a plurality of applications, the method comprising:
 acquiring a font size specified by one of the plurality of applications and font setting data including a font size conversion rule including a plurality of font size ranges for classifying a specified font size and a displayed font size which is related with at least one of the plurality of font size ranges, wherein the font size conversion rule included in the font setting data is common for the plurality of applications; and   setting a font size based on the specified font size and the font setting data for display.   
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 6 , wherein the font data includes a scalable font and a bitmap font. 
     
     
         8 . The method according to  claim 6 , wherein a font style conversion rule is included in the font setting data. 
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 6 , wherein the font setting data includes font metrics for each font size. 
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 6 , further comprising disabling a function of automatically changing a font type to a bold font. 
     
     
         11 . A non-transitory storage medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a method for executing a plurality of applications, the method comprising:
 acquiring a font size specified by one of the applications and font setting data including a font size conversion rule including a plurality of font size ranges for classifying a specified font size and a displayed font size which is related with at least one of the plurality of font size ranges, wherein the font size conversion rule included in the font setting data is common for the plurality of applications; and   setting a font size based on the specified font size and the font setting data for display.   
     
     
         12 . The non-transitory storage medium according to  claim 11 , wherein a font style conversion rule is included in the font setting data. 
     
     
         13 . The non-transitory storage medium according to  claim 11 , wherein the font setting data includes font metrics for each font size. 
     
     
         14 . The non-transitory storage medium according to  claim 11 , further comprising disabling a function of automatically changing a font type to a bold font.
