We are starting to use the Hershey fonts for graphic symbols, some of which need to be defined as having zero width, and starting at a particular offset from the natural "character" starting place. The Hershey fonts contain not only the vectors defining the characters, but also quite a few extra digits that code stuff like maximum x offset in each direction and so forth. Does anyone have a description of what all the code digits mean? A probably related problem is that since we went to V7 a few years ago on our PDP-11, and remade the fonts, continuous underbars (eg in tbl) come out dashed, large braces don't line up their segments properly -- nor do other built-up characters, -- and there are other little bugs with the correct relative locations of things. If this isn't the same problem as above, has anyone encountered and/or solved this? Please reply to {ihnp4,watmath,allegra, ...}!utzoo!dciem!tim or to the undersigned. -- Martin Taylor {allegra,linus,ihnp4,uw-beaver,floyd,ubc-vision}!utzoo!dciem!mmt
