Does anyone out there have pointers to papers/books on 
the drawing of text characters. I am particularly 
interested in real time drawing of characters on 
raster displays. The kind of algorithms that would 
inhabit terminals, personal computers and work stations.
My main interrest is algorithms that will give esthetically 
nice but efficient rendering of a font despite various transformations 
such as translations, rotations (limited), reflections, and scalings.
Currently the only reference I have is Knuths' Tex
and Metafont book. If there is interrest and responses I
will summarize to this news group.
