  • activating a character style preference editor;

    displaying a plurality of variant character styles for a selected character, each variant character style representing a distinct style of writing the selected character that is recognizable by the recognizer; and

    receiving inputs indicative of the likelihood that a handwritten character input with the stylus will have a form analogous to a selected variant character style and setting a use probability factor associated with the selected variant character style in accordance with the input.
