I suggest looking at the packages that can be found at MathSource for Hershey fonts. These fonts were developed for basically the same purpose you have in mind. And the Mathematica implementation of these fonts returns a graphics object. So, the size of the characters changes with the size of the graphic when the graphic is re-scaled to a different size. Note, the package as it exist now does not automatically size characters given a particular graphic. You have to supply the size you want things to be initially. However, it probably would not be difficult to modify the package so that the character size was computed from something else convenient. -- To reply via email subtract one hundred and four
