Does anyone out there have pointers to papers/books on
the drawing of text characters. I am particularly
interested in real time drawing of characters on
raster displays. The kind of algorithms that would
inhabit terminals, personal computers and work stations.
My main interrest is algorithms that will give esthetically
nice but efficient rendering of a font despite various transformations
such as translations, rotations (limited), reflections, and scalings.
Currently the only reference I have is Knuths' Tex
and Metafont book. If there is interrest and responses I
will summarize to this news group.
