Reading about it, it seemed the only major effort was to scan, if there wasn't a scan. The Topaz format from scan seems to have been simple. No more complicated than regular OCR, as it was essentially OCR and deduplication of the scan elements used by the OCR to create glyph table. The aim being to avoid having to proof at all.
