Abstract

An interactive system for specifying fonts using an object oriented approach, based on cubic splines, is given. An interactive Bezier curve editor is described as well as systems for compiling bit image fonts from their geometric descriptions and a system for compiling PostScript programs which can be used to render fonts on a PostScript printer or typesetter.
