               transferring, by said processing means in parallel with                
          said processing step, font pattern information specified by said            
          addresses from said second area of said frame buffer to a                   
          predetermined output position of said first area of said frame              
          buffer.                                                                     
          The examiner relies on the following references:                            
          Katsura et al. (Katsura 1)    4,947,342          Aug. 07, 1990              
          Katsura et al. (Katsura 2)    5,751,930          May  12, 1998              
          Fleming et al. (Fleming)      WO 82/04153        Nov. 25, 1982              
          Harold S. Stone, Microcomputer Interfacing, 1982 by Addison-                
          Wesley Publishing Company, Inc., pages 1-6.                                 
          Claims 19-22 and 31-33 stand rejected under the                             
          judicially created doctrine of obviousness-type double patenting            
          as being unpatentable over the invention claimed in Katsura 1 in            
          view of Stone.  Claims 19-22 and 31-33 also stand provisionally             
          rejected under the judicially created doctrine of obviousness-              
          type double patenting as being unpatentable over the invention              
          claimed in copending application Serial No. 08/213,820 in view of           
          Stone.  Copending application Serial No. 08/213,820 has become U.           
          S. Patent No. 5,751,930 (Katsura 2), and this rejection will now            
          be considered as an actual double patenting rejection based on              
          Katsura 2.  Finally, claims 19-22 and 31-33 stand rejected under            
          35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over the teachings of                 
          Fleming in view of Stone.
