DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW CHARACTER FONTS AT LLL

摘要

We describe a procedure for designing and using a new Hebrew character font by computer. We employ essentially the Hershey methodology, adapted for optional use with the TRIX Report Editor.[1] We have chosen a sample character, S (Ayin), and demonstrate its development by choosing a coordinate system and approximating its shape with line segments. The coordinates of the end points of these segments describe the character. Computer programs exist which scale and plot the character on any one of a variety of output media.nThe procedures described here indicate the flexibility now available with computers, and are applicable directly to our growing work with scientific and technological notations for data bases containing energy-related information and atomic or molecular data.
