Hello,
As a User Services Consultant at Marquette University, I have recently
received an inquiry by a student here about engineering circuit symbols
generated using METAFONT. We have TeX and METAFONT here, but have not
had the opportunity to develop any fonts of this type.
The students entire message is below. Please send responses directly
to Dale McCormick at:
Bitnet: 2044MCCO@MUCSD
Internet: 2044MCCO%MUCSD.BITNET@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU
Thanks to anyone who is able to help.
Ron Lutz.

I would like information on whether anyone has done any work with
METAFONT to create electrical and/or mechanical circuit symbols,
such as resistors, inductors, dashpots, springs, etc., to allow
direct creation of engineering circuitry in TeX/LaTeX files, or,
along the same line, any method to specify the inclusion of graphic
files directly into a TeX/LaTeX output file at a particular point.
The idea being that schematics and figures could be `drawn right in'
to the format, rather than hand drawing or cut-n-pasteing and
photocopying those pages after final copy outputs. Any and all
responses would be appreciated.
