I'm doing a project using Forth Inc's SwiftX on a TI MSP 430 and using an
Osram 128x64 OLED display in which I need to display graphics, text, and
numerics. Although I have flash sufficient to do dot-matrix fonts of
several sizes, I would rather use a vector based font and scale it as
needed. Before I go about re-inventing the wheel, I was wondering if there
was anyone here who has been there and done that - particularly where RAM is
limited -or could point me in the right direction.

I've converted the Hershey font some time ago to Java:

Should be easy to port it to Forth and would be interesting how short and
readable it will be, compared to the Java and C version.

Together with this words:

you'll have anything for drawing vector fonts.
