[comp.sys.atari.st] char gen related sw.

-> I want to use an Atari 520 as a video character (and graphics)
-> generator. I'm envisioning a (small?) word-processing system...

-> Any sources of/references to
->
->      - bitmap or shape font libraries

I'm sure GDOS bitmap fonts will suffice - if you're looking to the
future then you might wish to support FSM GDOS whose outline fonts are
to be sold seperately (they will be Imagen Ultrascript fonts).

->      - spline algorithms

Look for Numerical Recipes in C (mathematicians programming bible),
you'll find algorithms for this and a thousand and one other things
there

->      - people interested in collaborating

Big ventures in this small Atari market are too risky for me, perhaps
you might find someone who's involved in a computer graphics course and
would like to use this sort of a project as a testbed for skill just
learned.
