A selective calling receiver previously stores a predetermined number of calling numbers and selectively receives a message according to one of the calling numbers. The received message and its corresponding calling number are sequentially stored onto a message memory. A font data memory stores a plurality of message fonts each corresponding to a different calling number group. In the font data memory, the calling numbers are divided into a plurality of caller groups each consisting of at least one calling number. In response to the user's instruction, the font data memory is searched for a message font based on the corresponding calling number to display the message with the message font on a display.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An object of the present invention is to provide a selective call receiver which enable its user to easily recognize a plurality of callers.
According to the present invention, a selective call receiver is designed to display a received message with a different type font which is predetermined for each caller.
According to an aspect of the present invention, the selective call receiver selectively receives a first message from a first caller according to a first caller identifier and selectively receiving a second message from a second caller according to a second caller identifier.
The first message associated with the first caller identifier and the second message associated with the second caller identifier are stored in a message memory.
The selective calling receiver is further provided with a font data memory which stores a plurality of message fonts each corresponding to a different caller identifier.
In response to the user's instruction, a first message font is selected from the font data memory according to the first caller identifier and then the first message is displayed on screen with the first message font.
Further, in response to the user's instruction, a second message font is selected according to the second caller identifier and then the second message is displayed with the second message font.
According to another aspect of the present invention, a predetermined number of calling numbers are previously stored and, according to one of the calling numbers, a message is selectively received.
The received message and its corresponding calling number are sequentially stored into a message memory.
A font data memory stores a plurality of message fonts each corresponding to a different caller group.
The predetermined number of calling numbers are divided into a plurality of caller groups each consisting of at least one calling number.
In response to the user's instruction, the font data memory is searched for a message font based on the corresponding calling number to display the message with the message font on the display
