Hello,
Anyone know where I can get a copy of the Hershey ( sp? )
stroke fonts. I am doing this for a friend, so please excuse me
if I am a bit naive as to what ( and where ) they are.

The Hershey font set was created and donated to the public domain by Dr. Allen V. Hershey, a mathematical physicist at the U.S. Naval Weapons Laboratory in Dahlgren Virginia. I have an old publication on them from the U.S. Department of Commerce/National Bureau of Standards. It says "NBS Special Publication 424" and the number PB-251 845 also appears at the upper right-hand corner of the cover, but I'm not sure whose number that is. The manual was reproduced by the National Technical Information Service, U.S. Department of Commerce, Springfield, VA. 22161 Library of Congress Catalog Card Number is 75-619219 Or if you don't like hunting down government agencies, you can order it from the Austin Code Works (512)258-0785 BBS:(512)258-8831 or acw!info@uunet.uu.net for $15.
