After a little fiddling around, I have made a version of the basic Hershy Font (hersheydata.py) with most of the accents (in future light only), and adapted the Hershey Text extension to use it (hershey.py)

I also have adapted the two Eggbot-related extensions that use it, Name Poem and Spiral Text.

If you’d like to have a copy, to make available to other users, please let me know where I can post/send the code…

I may try to add a few other fonts and characters to the family – but no promises as to if/when this will be!

Thanks Windell for the fast reply.

Two follow-on questions:

 – any suggestions on how I might get hold of a more complete glyph table?

 – … and if I did, would I need to change anything else? From a quick look at the code, it seems that characters outside the range 32 to 127 are being excluded programmatically (lines 72, 84 in hershey.py) – so presumably this would also need adjusting if new glyphs are added ?

All help greatly appreciated!
