I am interested in writing a simple PostScript driver for a graphic editor 
of mine and am wondering... how difficult is PostScript to write based on
the following constraints...

1) primitive shapes -> lines,circles, etc.
2) text in Courier but different fonts and sizes
3) different grayscale fills
4) different line thicknesses and types (ie. dotted/dashed/solid)
   
 if the necessary code generator would be larger than 2000 lines of code...
it would not be worth it but under that it would be very useful....

any solutions? suggestions? books/tutorials? quick intros?...

thanks a shepherd's crook...

Kiron
