Have you come across a package put out by Borland including their font
editor (I can't recall the package name right now). It includes several
fonts, although I couldn't get the editor itself to work (the files created
weren't readable by TC). It also includes information on the font file
layout..

I dunno about bit-mappedv:,rDbut you can create your own stroked
fonts.

I've never heard of a ZINC library -- what is it?
