% Program for creating a linear index useful for the construction of a compass on a conical support | |||
% The program can be modified and adapted for the construction of other types of numeric indexes. | |||
% The font used is OCR-B which allows to have alphabetic and numeric symbols very similar | |||
% to those used in analogue flight gauges in the 50s and 80s | |||
% You must have installed OCR-B in OTF format that has a GPL-2 and later compatible license. | |||
