Rhett, Discussion of the actual algorithms would be of general interest, I think.

It is documented in either book 1 or 2 of Digital Typography by (I think!) P. Karow, of URW (i.e. the folks behind the Ikarus format (just google for URW and Digital Typograhy or Ikarus)). I think it is in book one. The books are an absolute 'must have' - but hard to get. Occasionally one can be found second hand; usually from a art/font firm dealing with the high end market of posters and other big print publications. But the algorithm described there is not a computer one; but more a method for someone cutting the scripts coming out of the linotypes and pasting them on the wax board.
