I am not quite sure of how the actual font tables that Fancy Fonts uses are
formatted, but the copy that I have (dating from about 1983) had the Hershey
character set on it nd contained documentation on how it was stored. I
believe it used 2 digit hexidecimal numbers to represent the points with 00
being the beginning of a character and FF (?) being the marker for move only
or plot only.  The rest of the values are just points that tell where to
go.  I also believe that there was some documentation on the internal format
of the fonts files there.  If you want, I will be glad to check my manual
and send you the information.
