Poll: Would you like a vector-based TTF font based on the tiny 4x6 UFL 1 font?

I've become interested in the UFL 1 4x6 tiny font after a discussion with a fellow HP48 friend and hacker. I'm in the process of creating a vector TTF for this font. I'm using lines instead of Bezier splines, but I may switch to splines.

As part of this project, I was prompted to render the original UFL 1 font on my 4K UHD display. To that end I've created a small FreeImage library utility function in ISO / ANSI / POSIX C that renders an input string into a properly sized and column wrapped PNG file.

Here's an example of the rendered raw UFL 1 4x6 tiny font, although enlarged ( with no interpolation ) by a factor of four :

And here's the original ( also attached... ) :

( The small C app is attached... It's also been uploaded to HPcalc.org, but it will probably be a while before Eric updates the site... )

What are your thoughts? Any helpers, recommendations or tips for the TTF font would be welcome.

Regards,

Jonathan
