Two programs are described that allow for the storage and manipulation of digitized fonts of graphic arts symbols and characters on the Apple II computer system. These fonts are based on the work of A. V. Hershey and provide the user with a repertory of digitized characters suitable for use in the preparation of camera-ready illustration in the laboratory environment. The programs described contain routines for reading files of the Hershey coordinates, storing them as text files, displaying them as individual characters or combined text on the high resolution display, and two methods for editing them or creating special symbols and graphics. | |||||||||||
