Could anyone inform me of the location of, or could share or sell polygonal fonts? We are developing various engineering prototype automotive head-up display (HUD) formats on a 4D/70GT that incorporate/require polygon based fonts. We have a simple 'LED-like' seven segment font (developed in our IRIS 1200 days of yore :-)), and recently developed one higher resolution font, but it was a time consuming and marginally aesthetically acceptable endeavor. Thanks in advance. Kevin R. Martin (213)-578-4316 Head, Simulation & Graphics Section Hughes Aircraft Company Los Angeles, CA. dslkrm@sccr50.dnet.hac.com

I have the hershey vector fonts running on top of GL if that is of use..
Initially it was part of GNU-digs but I have made a digs compatibility
library that allows it (and other GNU-digs programs) to run under GL.
To use it, you must use
vectfont(n); /* select font # n */
...
move(x, y, z);
hcharstr("hello world");
Of course, since it is a vector font, it is subject to all the usual 3D
transfomations...
