Scalable Fonts

[DanKarron at UCBVAX.BERKELEY.EDU]

I have a system to make your own geometry fonts. You have
to draw each letter to setup the geometry, and then you can scale them
to any size you want. Because my font system uses the IconSmith drawing tool,
you can make your letters in filled color, decorative, and as elaborate as you
want. 

Look on my anon ftp for source and sample code.

If you do make a font, please send me a copy, as I need more fonts for
my self. I am getting tired of looking at my own style.
