Are there any vector fonts out there? i.e. the char 'A' is formed of 5 stroke
precision vectors. Since postscript 3D is sometime away, it would be nice to
translate 3D forms into 2D vectors to draw on the page; but this requires
the fonts to be multiplied by 3D transformation matrices as well. The easiest
is to use some vector fonts to do this. Are there any commercial or public
domain fonts that are designed this way? Thanks for the replies.
