An information processing apparatus includes: a command supplying unit which supplies a drawing command containing identification information used to identify each glyph and instructing drawing of the contour of the glyph; a contour drawing unit which acquires glyph data indicating the contour of the glyph identified by the identification information contained in the drawing command and writes image data, in which the contour indicated by the acquired glyph data is represented by gray scale values of plural pixels, in a memory, when the drawing command is supplied from the command supplying unit; and a storage unit which stores posture information specifying a posture of the contour indicated by the image data written in the memory. The command supplying unit supplies the drawing command containing no posture information to the contour drawing unit when the contour of the glyph is drawn with the posture specified by the posture information stored in the storage unit, and supplies the drawing command containing the posture information to the contour drawing unit, when the contour of the glyph is not drawn with the posture specified by the posture information stored in the storage unit. The contour drawing unit writes the image data indicating the contour with the posture specified by the posture information when the drawing command containing the posture information is supplied from the command supplying unit, and writes the image data indicating the contour with the posture specified by the posture information stored in the storage unit when the drawing command containing no posture information is supplied from the command supplying unit.
