Rookie Question - I need help!!

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

I currently need to print parts of a document with the fonts provided
with the old 9-pin printers such as the EPSON LX-800 (or LX-80?). I do
not recall the font type (EPSON Roman, Sans Serif, etc...) but the
fonts Im looking for are the standard font (maybe roman) and another
font that was bigger and bold. I tried to replicate them using the
standard font type list provided with MS Word but I have not been able
to.

Does any one remember those fonts? how can I include them in the MS
Word font list?

thanks in advance for your help...

Dan

The old dot matrix printers I remember were the Epson FX80. There is a close
match here:

What I think you need is a non-proportional font, ie the letter i takes the
same space as w.

Try Courier and Terminal fonts in Word.
