Well I was thinking of some Swiss R&D on it that dates back to 
the 1980's and that was used by Acorn for its Risc Os font 
system, in many aspects still the font system to copy, as BeOS 
has done. I think it went a bit further than Donald Knuth's 
TeX font system. BTW, that software guru is a printer's son so 
the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
