| is there a set of glyphs that I could
analyze(to get the number of pixels that
make up an ascii character) under unix or
linux? I want to take a set of glyphs that
represent ascii characters and convert them
to ppm files for further analysis.

Take any X window font in bdf format.

It depends on the graphics system not the OS. Are we talking about X
or PostScript or what? Whatever the answer is there is probably a
better group to post the question to. For example, if you are talking
about X then comp.windows.x is probably the place to ask.

| Hi,
Have a look at the freetype library.
http://www.freetype.org/
You can get the bitmap for a character. Works with true type fonts.
