Hi Folks,

Dan, I remembered about your technique to OCR Sanskrit text, using 
histograms of pixel values for rows and columns. Leandro Caniglia told 
me he learned it at your place on Squeak 10th anniversary. This allowed 
avoiding the need to mark the bmp files manually. Now, creating nice 
looking StrikeFonts in Squeak is fast and easy! Your work is always so 
enlightening!

I updated http://www.jvuletich.org/Squeak/Misc/AAStrikeFonts.zip . I 
also replaced copyrighted fonts with 6 sizes of Bitstream Vera, free of 
any legal issues.

Enjoy!

Juan Vuletich
