quote [ The structure is basically as follows: each character consists of a number 1->4000 (not all used) in column 0:4, the number of vertices in columns 5:7, the left hand position in column 8, the right hand position in column 9, and finally the vertices in single character pairs. All coordinates are given relative to the ascii value of 'R'. If the coordinate value is " R" that indicates a pen up operation. ]
Looking up plotter letters like the one in the recent typewriter post I found that most online resources stem from this archaic vector code.
Bonus: This generator builds up on some other projects and exports custom strings to Hershey SVGs:

This is one of those things where I read the whole thing, understood each word written in it, and yet still have no idea how the fuck this works.
