Each character has to be placed manually as they are separate entities, though help is given in the form of a font metrics file: "tms_rom.mtr". This contains each character extents, not proper kerning info - the centre of the character in terms of X can be easily derived from the defined min max and width. The naming convention should be apparent. For example, for "tms_au.inc" tms is the family identifier, a is the letter "a" and u is for upper case. See contents.txt for a complete list. It is important that a consistent protocol for describing 3d fonts is established to make handling easier and predictable, which is why I opted for this scheme: The origin is measured from the front bottom left corner of the character baseline. Actual character dimensions are contained in the font files themselves and in the metrics include file, tms_rom.mtr They are 1 unit deep, and 1 unit high from baseline to the leading line above the Cap height. Descenders appear below Z=0. This is not indicative of the actual size of the characters, as different fonts with the same point size often have wildly different character sizes. It's a start, and may not be ideal, as long as some standards are adhered to! The coordinate system used is: X = left to right Y = front to back Z = bottom to top Comments welcome. Mail me and let me know what you produce. Enjoy... Andy, March 28, 1994 Other fonts available, allow 2 weeks to create a font on request. Cost: $49 or equivalent.
