Hershey is a textual vector font format
Hershey is a textual vector font format that encodes glyphs in a specific structure. Each glyph is represented by an ID, length, boundary box positions, and a list of points. The format allows for precise rendering of text using vector graphics.
- ▪Hershey vector fonts are text files where each line represents a glyph encoded in five parts.
- ▪A point in the font format is represented by two characters indicating signed values.
- ▪The special position ' R' indicates lifting the pen, meaning the following position will not draw a stroke.

Hershey is a textual vector format. A Hershey vector font is a text file in which each line represents a glyph encoded in five parts: id[5]: The id of the glyph in decimal. length[3]: The number of points, in decimal. left[1]: The left position of the boundary box. right[1]: The right position of the boundary box. points[?]: A list of points, ending with a linebreak. A point is made of two characters(x, y) representing each a signed value, where capital R is 0, Q is -1, S is 1, and so on. For example, NW is equal to -4,5.
