For some reason, I keep expecting to see Norbert Kern's name attached to this
product. Must have something to do with his name. ;-)

Funny you should say that. On the first image, I read "Normal Thin" as
Norbert Kern.
But reading was not my best subject at school.

It would be nice if the stepping in in numbers 7 to 11 didn't show.
I haven't looked at the files yet. Does this work for only 1 font or can
it work with any font?

The font is built-in and the macros only work with the included font. The step
effect you mentioned (actually visible in styles 7 - 13 and 16 - 18) is a
by-product of the way the fonts are made. I think the step effect could be
eliminated by making the sides of the characters variably non-vertical by using
cones in place of cylinders and prisms in place of boxes, etc. When I made the
characters I had not yet thought of the usefulness of this technique.
Retroactively implementing this feature would require quite a bit of time and
work and there's no possibility I will ever get to it. But I agree that it would
be a good thing. I really like styles 10 and 12, even with the steps.
