There's a set of troff macros that turn a "typewriter drawing" into
lines called "gc".
As I recall, it handles curves through the use of adjacent '(' or '@'
characters. I think they work only for certain Xerox printers.

There's a filter version, called "gc2pic",
which generates "pic" output. The version I used
did not handle any form of curves.
Given my lack of a working "xcip/cip" program
for generating pic output, gc2pic seems like
the easiest way of creating pic pictures fast.
Is there a newer version of gc2pic available that corrects
the curve problem?
