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:
