Links not opensource but interesting to me

TTF fonts have a closed contour(startpoint == endpoint)
in the past i have used ttf code that did not execute the last line of a contour
so that it could be used for stroked single line engraving
Next i found interesting but agfa couldn/wouldnt give any source or fonteditor away
advantage above borland stroked font is that the lines are curved
http://www.agfamonotype.com/newmedia/stroke_fonts.asp=Stroke-based fonts
also stroke based fonts (Asian) at http://www.bitstream.com/

VIsual toolbox uses a font made up off lines and beziercurves
wich is better as the borland *.chr files
visual toolbox comes with 75fonts for engraving and vinylcutting
http://www.visualtoolbox.com=Stroke-based fonts (the contour does not have to be closed like in TTF)

 Basic program that draws some lines and beziercurves off above fonttext files

Bezier draw Borland c source  bezier.c
just an example how to draw a 4 point bezier line/curve

Knotworker not opensource
a program for creating nice designs ( a pitty it cannot output vector files)
