	Thanks for that; I haven't hacked PostScript for years, but it's certainly interesting. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You're welcome! You're one of my PostScript inspirations so I'm glad you enjoyed it. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	That explains some of the odd thicknesses in some parts of the constellation symbols. It seems like some further refinements could make U and J shapes, for example, work more traditionally. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I think the "traditional" calligraphy stroke isn't much like these lines - it's just a stroke that's different thicknesses in different directions (which you can do in ps as something like "gsave 30 rotate 1 0.5 scale stroke grestore newpath"). This does give some strange thicknesses though. What do you think U and J shapes should look like? (Reply to this) (Parent)
