Abstract
A portable information apparatus that enables its user to readily confirm an effect of modification of a displayed manner of a character during editing is provided. A character color modification process that is carried out by a control unit of a portable telephone as an embodiment of the portable information apparatus includes the steps of generating data for displaying a character color palette and a preview area, outputting the respective data for display to a VRAM, acquiring identification information of the color corresponding to the cursor position in response to the cursor movement, and generating the data for displaying the preview area by changing the character color of an illustrative character string to the color corresponding to the cursor position.
