  abstract =     "Many fonts derive from stroke-based ancestry. Pressure
                 applied to the pen or brush provided some variation in
                 the stroke width, which defined a region on each side
                 of a centreline. A simple representation of fonts as
                 variable width strokes is presented in this paper.
                 Advantages include a good first step toward typographic
                 scaling (stroke width scales independently of overall
                 scale factor), and preservation of topology at low
                 resolutions (minimum stroke width can be enforced). A
                 chief disadvantage is the lack of experience designing
                 fonts in this paradigm, or building routines to convert
                 from other paradigms.",
