| − | Hershey Text includes several different typefaces. Some are historical faces, the "Hershey Fonts", originally created by Dr. A. V. Hershey while working at the U.S. National Bureau of Standards (now NIST), in the 1960s. Other fonts, the "EMS" series, are modern fonts licensed under the [http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=OFL SIL Open Font License], as listed below. If you would like to try it out, you can download it from the [https://github.com/evil-mad/EggBot/ EggBot repository], where it is located in the "Inkscape_driver" folder. To install it manually, copy the three files "hershey.py", "hershey.inx," and "hersheydata.py" into your Inkscape extensions folder, replacing those three files there.
