          Appeal No. 95-1423                                                          
          Application 07/928,883                                                      

          69 take into account related character and/or supporting                    
          element information.                                                        
               Turning now to the prior art, with respect to claim 61,                
          Nopp teaches all of the claimed elements with the exception of              
          a “cross-color mapping” whereby an input color is changed to                
          a                                                                           




          different output color.  Specifically, Nopp teaches a control               
          arrangement for a multi-colored visual display unit to be used              
          with characters, graphic patterns and/or other multi-color                  
          images such as a television picture (page 2, lines 1-6).  Nopp              
          recog- nizes the problem of legibility in color displays due                
          to low contrast of relatively dark characters and the relative              
          lack of sensitivity of the eye (Nopp page 3, lines 6-10).                   
          Nopp seeks to remedy this by adjusting the brightness of the                
          displayed colors to create greater contrast (Nopp page 4,                   
          lines 8-17).                                                                
               Nopp discloses a picture memory or “image store” (page 5,              
          lines 12-13) and a display unit AE with a screen (page 8, line              
          28 to page 9, line 1 and Fig. 2).  Additionally, Nopp                       

                                         16
