The Hershey Font Explorer allows the classic set of Hershey Fonts to be appreciated both as such, as well as in their native stroke-by-stroke "R Format".

By way of a bonus, Hershey's entire set of fonts are also provided in the files area as downloadable archives. The archived fonts have been rendered in four modern formats:

(1) A eval()uable file-format parsable by Python.

(2) A graphical (PNG) Format

(3) A new, parser-firendly, one-line-per-glyph ASCII R Format

(4) The Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) Format for use with HTML5

Feel free to contact me via the blog at my web site if you would like to geek-out over new features, related projects (etc.)

p.s. This project is written in Java. If you're into Python, you can `pip install PyHershey_9000` as well.


Enjoy.
