Here is the fourth -- and final -- unique font to come from the ImageWriter II. I had a bit of difficulty trying to copy this from a standard printout using my ImageWriter II's without manipulation. Each character in the ImageWriter II's "Near Letter Quality" (NLQ) mode jammed a 16x14 character into what would normally be an 7x7 template. I wound up figuring out that the ImageWriter printed each character's odd-numbered pixel rows before printing out the even-numbered pixel rows. Ultimately, I caught a rather (un)lucky break after the printer would mess up after the odd-numbered pixel row printout. This worked out because I was able to separate the alternating rows, then I spliced them back together. Getting back to the font's attributes, ImgWriter NLQ, much like my previous ImgWriter entries, features characters that were not a part of the original design -- accented capital letters, the "fi" and "fl" ligatures, the yen and Euro symbols, fractions, et. al. The only character in this font that is not monospaced is the ellipses (or "dot-dot-dot"); this was made to be a double-spaced character to cut down on the white space between periods. Enjoy! -------- 2014.04.15: Small update includes combining diacritic marks; this was done to circumvent a bug in some Mac programs where the accented characters wouldn't appear correctly after typing in Option+N then N, for example. (Last updated on 2013.05.06: Includes a greatly expanded character set.)]]> http://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/473428/imgwriter_nlq_1 Fri, 15 Apr 2011 12:05:13 +0000
Another font based on Apple's old ImageWriter II printer. This variation of the font originally followed a strict "dot matrix" pixel layout -- none of the dots nestle into a triangle shape. -------- 2014.04.15: Small update includes combining diacritic marks; this was done to circumvent a but in some Mac programs where the accented characters wouldn't appear correctly after typing in Option+N then N, for example.]]> http://www.fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/460840/imgwriter_pica Fri, 08 Apr 2011 19:24:53 +0000
This font is based on one of the fonts used by the Apple ImageWriter II dot-matrix printer. Included with this font are the basic Greek alphabet and the Japanese Katakana lettering. ---- Made public on 2010.10.30 2014.04.15: Small update includes combining diacritic marks; this was done to circumvent a but in some Mac programs where the accented characters wouldn't appear correctly after typing in Option+N then N, for example. 2013.07.16: Slightly changed the appears of the 5 character in the superscript, subscript, and numberform characters. Last updated: 2013.05.04... This font was taken down briefly mainly so I could bolster the font by adding several new glyphs -- including superscript and subscript numbers, fractions, and even some image images that you'd expect to see on your computer screen.
