This program converts bitmap fonts to a homegrown outline format, bezier
|
||
|
|
(BZR). The program `bzrto' converts that format to something usable for
|
||
|
|
typesetting.

||
|
|
|

|
We used two main sources in writing the program:

We had access to the code for Phoenix, thanks to Philip, but none of our
|
||
|
|
code is based on his (mostly because his task was allow interactive
|
||
|
|
sketching, and ours to fit bitmap characters, and the two require
|
||
|
|
different data structures). The general outline of the fitting
|
||
|
|
algorithm does come from Phoenix.
