Hello,

Recently, I've come across some terminology regarding floating-pt
algorithms used in PostScript character generations.  A popular one
I've heard is the "Cordix" algorithm.  This one supposedly is used
by some Intel and AMD chips in their laser-printer solutions and
is implemented in hardware.  The algorithm is best noted for its
speed (I think).  Where can I find out more information and who
can I speak to about implementing such an algorithm in software?

I know of a few collegues who are interested in printers/fp solutions
and we're looking into what fp routines are available out there.
Thanks ahead to any one that can shed some light on this subject.
