An Adaptation of the Hershey Digitized Character Set for Use in Computer Graphics and Typesetting.

摘要

Font definitions of 1377characters of various styles developed by Allen V. Hershey were used as an initial data base. His character definitions were first put into a form suitable for use by vector graphics display processors,and then these vectors were converted into dot matrix form in a variety of point sizes. This conversion and digitization process was done using the C programming language;the host computer was a PDP-11/50with the UNIX operating system,and the computerized typesetting was done on a VERSATEC 1200-A printer/plotter. As a result, a large data base for use in computerized typesetting has been developed. In addition,the computerized typesetting system at the Naval Postgraduate School has been improved and adapted to make use of the large number of fonts now available. (Author)
