I've mentioned this before, but you might find this of interest. I've been working on an editor (spe.wxb) for creating PostScript instructions for abc2ps glyphs. You can find a copy of the program here: http://webs.lanset.com/dcuny/spe.zip It's not complete, but the output is quite usable. There's a hacked version of the "Sentimental Journey" demo (journey.ps) included that uses Jazz fonts created with it by tracing Sigler's JazzFont (http://www.jazzfont.com/). You will need a copy of wxBasic (http://wxbasic.sf.net) to run it, or if that's too much of a hassle, I can create a stand-alone Windows executable. It's pretty easy to create glyphs with it. You can load a reference image by choosing Reference | Open Reference Image and then trace a path around it with Path | Create New Path. Right clicking path points toggles them between on and off curve points. File | Write PostScript will generate a test.ps file of the glyph, and File | Write abcm2ps Code will generate PostScript code that is (more or less) compatible with abcm2ps. With a bit of tweaking, it can also import simple PostScript instructions (basically, 'curve' statements). The project is temporarily on hold while I work on other projects, but if there is interest in this, let me know. -- David Cuny To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
