I am currently working on a project to design character generation software for video systems. I have used various different types of professional and industrial CG systems, and none of them have satisfied my concept of good user interface design. Currently, I am not worried about the target hardware. Current state of the art PC hardware has the horsepower to support my plans. I think. And there lies the problem. I need to know more about PostScript, as I'd like to use it as my character drawing routine, due to the wide availability of fonts in this format. But, I don't know where to look for detailed technical information on PS, any PD PS interpreters, etc. So: Are there any people out there who have or can point me to this kind of info? All help will be appreciated. Reply via mail, summary posted if interest warrrents, but I doubt it will, this is kinda obscure. (Except, of course, for rec.video people, who will want to know when they can buy it... :-) I will be starting coding on this project in a few weeks, probably, other pressures behaving themselves. The character plotting code, however, will be a milestone, and will hold up the project until I can get it figured out. Additionally, if anybody has any suggestions for operational details, or wishes to discuss the project further, email that too. Thanks, all, -- jra -- Jay R.
