[comp.text] Hershey Fonts?

iglvax@hscfvax.UUCP (870007@R.L.Sidman) (05/18/87)

	Could someone please tell me what the "Hershey Fonts" are and
	where I can obtain more information? What kinds of fonts are
	defined? Where can I find these fonts (I have heard that they
	are archived someplace)? Lastly, does anyone know if there is
	a Chinese character font among these fonts?

	Thanks.

You can get a copy of the tape and the documentation from 
	National Technical Information Service

(Foot in mouth) I got this far and went to look up the address on the
front of our copy of the documents...and can't find it.

The tape we got about 8 years ago also had some Chinese characters
on it...

PS: As whoever gets you the address will agree, NTIS doesn't distribute
the most cleanly printed documentation.  Readable, but not pretty.

A version of the Hershey fonts, as well as some tools to
convert them to other formats (PostScript(?) and Vfont)
are available from your nearest comp.sources.unix archives.

The distribution is BIG -- ask your neighbors first, and make
sure you really are going to do something with them before
you add to people's phone bills. (Semi :-).
