Does anyone out there know the internal format of a Fancy Fonts font file? I'd like to use these fonts for a printer driver. John Antypas uucp: ...!sdcsvax!jantypas arpa: jantypas@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu

I believe it used 2 digit hexidecimal numbers to represent the points with 00 being the beginning of a character and FF (?) being the marker for move only or plot only. The rest of the values are just points that tell where to go. I also believe that there was some documentation on the internal format of the fonts files there. If you want, I will be glad to check my manual and send you the information.
