Re: CSG fonts

I have an interest in developing and exchanging CSG fonts and CSG
font-formatting tools.  I have proposed adopting a standard for such
objects and macros in this thread:

http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.scene-files/thread/%3Cweb.456ff0468ffcc40c7cac52a50%40news.povray.org%3E/

{ Please pardon my newbiisms and my footprints on a well-worn path, but
take seriously my proposal to adopt some sort of CSG font standard. }

In a nutshell:  I think it would be wise for default CSG font objects to
emulate default 'text{}'-generated objects.  And, I think it would be wise
to adopt a standard array structure to contain CSG fonts to allow for
portability among formatting tools.
