Hershey font TTF files

What is Hershey font?

  • About Hershey Fonts.
    • Hershey fonts are vector fonts made of strokes. Currently, there is no official TTF/OTF support for Hershey.
    • However, Hershey fonts have been widely used in the astronomy community (pre-Python).

Why TTF?

  • To be able to keep the style, AVHershey-OTF profiles a OTF "projection" of the original Hershey fonts (another approach to map the Hershey font can be found here).
  • Here, for personal use, based on AVHershey-OTF, I ddded italic styles and a few missing fonts (uni2299, $\odot$ for example) then created TTF files.
  • I will try to update the fonts by adding more missing characters.

Structure:

  • AVHershey Complex (which contains the most characters):

    • Light,
    • Light Italic,
    • Medium,
    • Medium Italic,
    • Heavy,
    • Heavy Italic.
  • AVHershey Duplex:

    • Light,
    • Light Italic,
    • Medium,
    • Medium Italic,
    • Heavy,
    • Heavy Italic.
  • AVHershey Simplex:

    • Light,
    • Light Italic,
    • Medium,
    • Medium Italic,
