OK that's interesting. The conversion did not look like it was going to work out
for this particular use because the documentation said that sharp edges would
produce jagged results. Most of the edges of the letters are rounded since
that's the whole point of the project, but the top of the "u" and bottom of the
"n" do have sharp edges. I'll see if Mike Williams' work can be used. Thank you
sir!
