Okay, following the above i would like to propose a first attempt of a
patch.
Feel free to rant about my mistakes, but please be reminded that i am just
a pianist trying his best. Don't shoot!
Hi,
some comments regarding the glyph:
* the bbox is too small horizontally (try viewing out/feta20.dvi)
* narrowing of the lines near the junction point is ok in principle, but I think the lines should be thinner still (the junction has more weight than the rest of the glyph)
* The glyph is quicker drawn by doing only upper right half, then doing
addto currentpicture also currentpicture (yscaled -1); addto currentpicture also currentpicture (xscaled -1);
If you take these comments into account, I'll gladly merge a new version of your patch.
