Abstract
Variable width fonts were adapted for use in a 16-bit
environment, and an existing font editor was modified to
provide for the creation and maintenance of such fonts. A
UNIX compatible file format was designed for the storage of
digitized characters/ and a set of font-manipulation programs
were written. These developments enhance the digital
typesetting capability of UNIX. Thirty-four fonts were obtained
from the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
(SAIL) and were modified for use under UNIX. The fonts
offer a variety of sizes and styles; their selective use allows
for a more compact and aesthetic display of textual information
in documents produced on a Versatec 1200-A
printer /plotter.
