A rotated, 3-dimensional plot shown in perspective requires characters with
bounding boxes that are trapezoids. Anybody have a PostScript routine that
will map a character into a trapezoidal bounding box?

Also: it is rumored that there is a shareware set of example 3-D PostScript
plots from an outfit called "bersearch"(?) -- anybody know of an ftp site
where this is available?

Thanks,
Craig.
