[comp.lang.postscript] Rounding Postcript Fonts...

	Many thanks to everyone who's discussed ways to round corners on
fonts.  I have some stroked PostScript fonts that look like "line" versions
of Helvetica, Letter Gothic, etc. (designed for printing on pen plotters
and lo-rez dot matrix) that should look really nice if I draw them with
wide lines with rounded line-caps.

	[No, I don't think I can legally distribute said fonts.  These were 
originally Atari ST "Publishing Partner" fonts, which, with "PageStream"'s 
font editor, were converted to downloadable PostScript.  Sorry.]

	I'll just use my favorite desktop publishing program, "PageStream",
to set type in those fonts, and then hack the PostScript code to use
the thicker, rounded lines...

	Again, thanks.
