<DIV>I'm familar with LM and the various other Type1 versions of CM.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>> Why do you want to reinvent the wheel?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Several reasons:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(1) CM is too "thin", so it's not very well suited to low-resolution devices</DIV>
<DIV>like computer screens. The Cambria font is much better in this respect, but I like the CM design better. I'd just like to adjust the parameters and make it a bit "fatter".</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(2) I'm generally interested in parametric design techniques, and CM is an</DIV>
<DIV>excellent example.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(3) I think the geometry problems are interesting -- converting brush strokes to outlines and resolving the overlaps.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(4) I think it would be fun to have a GUI that lets you play with the design parameters</DIV>
<DIV>and immediately see the changes in the letter shapes.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Makes sense ??</DIV></td></tr></table>
