+Subject: Hershey fonts
+
+This submission is being sent in response to a question in texhax [#70].
+I (jok@gpu.utcs.toronto.edu) am posting this submission for my father, Oliver.
+Consequently, everything after this paragraph is written by him. I will
+accept any responses and forward them to him. His interest in TeX
+revolves around multi-lingual (hobby) desktop publishing.

+Hershey fonts for the IBM PC are available from SoftCraft, Inc., and from
+Austin Code Works. The SoftCraft set consists of four separate databases:
+ HERSHEY.CHR 1594 characters
+ ORIENT.CHR 758 char.
+ PERSIAN.CHR 135 char.
+ HEBREW.CHR 49 char.
+The HERSHEY.CHR database includes, besides several Roman typefaces, Greek,
+Russian, German Fraktur, and a variety of graphic symbols; the ORIENT.CHR
+database has hiragana, katakana, and 623 kanji characters.
+
+The format of the SoftCraft Hershey databases is given in their "Font Editing:
+EFONT/CFONT User's Manual" on p. A5-2. Using this description, I wrote the
+following Turbo Pascal 4.0 program to generate METAFONT source code from the
+Hershey plotter directives:
