I found the BYTE magazine that used the book by Hershey as a reference.
It is March 82, Vol. 7, No. 3, pp. 186-196.  The article gives some
example character fonts and a microsoft basic program that one of the
authors of the article wrote to generate some of the charcter fonts.

The reference for the work by Hershey is:

	Wolcott, N.M. and J. Hilsenrath.  A Contribution to
	Computer Typesetting Techniques: Tables of Coordinates
	from Hershey's Repertory of Occidental Type Fonts and
	Graphic Symbols.  Washington, D.C.: National Bureau of
	Standards Special Publication No. 424, U.S. Department
	of Commerce, U.S. Government Printing Office, 1976.
	Out of print.
