I would like to display fonts on a graphics 'screen'. I have been able to display the fixed size IBM-like (8x8) fonts, but would like to use scalable fonts, and use more sophisticated, public domain, fonts. I certainly don't want to decipher the internals of something like TeX, but there must be some standard font representation / display techniques for raster displays. I would prefer 1 plane of arbitrary depth - allowing anti-aliasing techniques. The only representation / display I am familiar with are the Targa font display routines - using stroke information and an arbitrary width line draw primitive. What are common methods, and are there implementation oriented references ? Thanks! Mike Finegan mfinegan@uceng.UC.EDU
