          control unit 52 (page 11, lines 6-14).  The output signal of                
          the charac- ter generator is received by the transforming                   
          device 38, which acts on the signal according to the strategy               
          received from the histogram former 32 and/or control unit 54                
          to convert the character code color information or to leave it              
          unchanged    (page 12, lines 15-22).                                        
               Independent claims 61 and 69, reproduced below, are                    
          representative:                                                             
                         61. A character display unit, comprising:                    
                    a picture memory for storing all characters                       
               displayable in a multi-color frame together with                       
               color code information defining a plurality of                         
               respective hues,                                                       
                    color transforming means having an input                          
               connected to the picture memory for cross-color                        
               mapping at least part of said characters according                     
               to a color look-up table, and                                          
                    display means for displaying said frame and                       
               having an input connected to the color transforming                    
               means, wherein                                                         
                    said color transforming means are controllable                    
               in a first and in a second state, such that                            
                         i)   in said first state said color                          
               transforming means are operative for mapping two of                    
               said respective hues on a single destination hue in                    
               said multi-color frame, and                                            
                         ii) in said second state said color                          
               transforming means are operative for mapping two of
