This may not be topical for this group, but a laser printer is involved
and here is where font knowledge is concentrated on the net.

I'm looking for information on public domain stroke font files, that
is, characters defined solely by the use of line segments, circular
arcs, and, perhaps, splines, all using a constant pen width.

There are several plot packages around Ames (plot10, displa, etc) that
all have about the same character set (serif, sans serif, gothic)
leading me to believe they all come from the same source.

Does anyone know what this source is, how I can get in touch with it,
or if the font definitions in any of these common plot packages lies in
the public domain?

Thanks, I don't read this list any more, so make sure replies come
directly to me.
