Does anyone have a description of the
format of the "hershey vector fonts"?

These are ascii files which describe
about twenty fonts and orginated, I
think, at the Naval Post Graduate
School.  I have some software which
uses some of the fields, but a large
amount of the data is not touched.
There is a "character" file which
describes, I think, the size of the
character (relative to a 100x100 grid).
And a "font" file which has the actual
vectors and a lot of other (unknown) stuff.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
(struct definitions would be fabulous).
