Dear All,

It seems to be a good time to upload stuff to do with text.

In order to put some pressure on me to squash some final bugs, I'm uploading
four images made with a text system that is based on Sam Benge's excellent
rounded linear prism macros (rlp.inc) available from the object collection.

The system comprises:
1) A set of rounded/chamfered fonts (Roman, Math Italic, Greek with quite
   a few mathematical symbols);
2) A #macro to typeset a POV-Ray object based on a string variable using
   some control characters to go into maths, etc.;
3) A collection of #macros to typeset more complex mathematical objects
   in various ways using interim object components.

I seem only to be able to attach one image at a time. This one is of the
formulae for a Fourier series.

If there is any interest, and specifically an offer of help to do a bit of bug
hunting, I will post the code.

There is a kludge to allow the round/chamfer to be in another colour. Or the

The rlp.inc code specifically says it doesn't deal with transparency, and there
are artefacts, but yu can get away with it at least some of the time.

I think that's the web interface.   IIRC, posting with Thunderbird allows you to
post multiple attachments.

One of those things I would sorely love to learn and apply.

Sure thing - I'll take a look at it in the evenings when I get out of work!

Thanks

That's really cool! I've always been interested in improving the plain,
flat-faced appearance of text. Your results are very impressive.

As are your bordered chars, which of course prompted to post my nearly
orthogonal system.

I'll have to look at how you kern. I gave up on automatic kerning. I thought I
would need to populate an nxn matrix where n is the number of characters. I'll
also have to think about justifying paragraphs.

Thanks for the impetus to finally post something.

Jim T.

    Did you really work on a LaTeX plugin for POVray ?
