Stroked fonts have 1 advantage: they can be drawn in any size.
There are some disadvantages also: in small sizes they are usually
less readable than bitmapped fonts, in large sizes they are too "thin",
unless you go the Postscript route and generate some really complex
filled shapes.
Borland's C++ and Pascal packages contain both stroked fonts and
bitmapped fonts. The bitmapped ones look a lot better.
You might want to compare these before you spend a lot of time
on this project.
