Introduction

This document defines procedures to display Hershey fonts using the BGI1 interface. A replacement for |(out-text ...)| is provided. The format is intended to be an imitation of Donald Knuth's TEX typesetting system: If this sounded too theoretical, see the last chapter, containing a few examples.

A few differences exist between |out-hershey| and |out-text|: |out-hershey| works only with one text justification setting, |'left 'bottom|. No special care is given to enforce these settings, as they are by far the most useful and common ones. Characters such as `|^|' and `|_|' must be prefixed by a `|||', as they have a TEX meaning.
