It's nice to see this rather subtle and unappreciated bit of cleverness from the original BSR/Y&Y CM fonts replicated :-) Using continued fractions you can get about n + m bits worth of accuracy when the numerator and denominator have n and m bits respectively. Much better then the obvious way of dividing by some fixed quantity like 1000, where you only get about n bits worth... And of course much better than the junk fonts that just round to the nearest integer. Regards, Berthold. -- Berthold K.P. Horn mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ai.mit.edu/people/bkph (MT)
