[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] printer font editing nad downloading

rhaar@albert.cs.gmr.com (Robert L. Haar CS50) (02/21/91)

I have a Panasonic KXP-1124 that I would like to load with a customized
font set. Can anyone recommend a font editing utility and download
procedure.

The 1124 is a 24 pin dot matrix printer that I use in Epson compatibility
mode. I have installed the memory upgrade, so there is RAM 
available for font storage.

I want to modify one of the built-in fonts to include some extra
characters (Old English, as in Beowulf, not a fancy version of the 
modern alphabet).

I normally run on an AT&T 3b1 - Sys. V UNIX, but also have an
PC-XT clone, so I can use either UNIX or MS-DOS software.

I would prefer a public domain software package that is available
in source so that I can modify if necessary, but shareware or
commercial software is acceptable. If you have a suggestion of
a package that is archived somewhere on the net, please include the
node name.

thanks in advance.
