[comp.laser-printers] OCR-A font for Impress Imagen?

ted@ARSOCOMVAX.SOCOM.MIL (Ted Nolan SRI Ft Bragg) (10/24/89)

Hello folks,

I don't read this list as much as I should (only so many hours in a
day..) so email would be appreciated.  Anyway, my question is this,
does anyone have a way to print in OCR-A (Optical Character Recognition
font A) on an Imagen printer with Impress (not, unfortunately,
UltraScript).  In particular, I'm talking about 8/300s running 2.2 and
2308s running 3.3.  (QMS/Imagen doesn't know of any way).  Failing
that, is OCR-A in the public domain, and does anyone have it
digitized?

			Thanks much,

			Ted Nolan

There is an OCR-A font available in Metafont format. You could use it 
either through TeX, or, with a bit of effort, convert the MF-generated
bitmaps into a bitmap format you can use.
