Thanks. Yes, I wrote such a beast awhile back. It converts straight from the Hershey vector form into a "vfont" format (a la 4.x BSD), by using a symmetric DDA algorithm to draw the lines (pen shape is specifiable, too). If there is sufficient interest, I will post it to mod.sources. Even if there isn't, I may post it anyway. There is only one problem: you have to sign a license agreement in order to get the tape that contains the vector form. I'll have to read it closely to see if I would be violating it by posting source that understands how to read it. Send me mail (phil@Rice.edu) if you are interested. -- William LeFebvre Department of Computer Science Rice University <phil@Rice.edu>
