greetings netreaders,
I'm looking for utilities to aid printing obscure glyphs in papers (probably
postscript output). Eventually, these glyphs may become entire fonts.
Ideally, what is wanted is the ability to edit a font, see it on the screen,
convert the font to a postcript font (or insert a postscript file with in
into a document), and also convert the font to/from TeX pxl format.
Does anything like this exist? How about the parts? I'll take them all.
Specifically, they are:
a font editor
font conversion utilities (from/to the following format:
X, TeX, PostScript, Mac, Symbolics, etc.
(legalities, copyrights?))
fonts themselves, and a guide to their formats.
We have X, TeX, Laserwriters, RT's, microvaxen, Sun's, vaxen; these are the
machines preferred (ibm pc's & macs (too few) are possible but not preferred).
I will summarize to the net in a week or two.
