[comp.sys.amiga] Hershey fonts

dillon@CORY.BERKELEY.EDU (Matt Dillon) (12/27/87)

	The Hershey fonts are made up of vectored line segments, and look quite
nice at the resolution they were digitized at.   The granularity is such that
conversion to bezier or B-spline segments would yield good results for other
resolutions.  These fonts only look well on bitmaps larger than, say, 30x30
pixels per character.

	If there is enough interest, I can post the non-oriental part of the
fonts (I lost the oriental characters) and a simple viewing program for the
Amiga. But mind you, they are not in the standard font format and thus it will
take work to convert them.  It comes to about 200K of information.

	The only restrictions are on the format of the font files.  The 
original somebody or other did not allow the font files to be copied in
*their* format.  The original ditributor on the usenet thus changed the 
format.  That's all,
