This font is based on the HD44780U Character LCD-display, and it's a clone of the 5x8 LCD HD44780U A02 font, wich again is a clone of my LCD Dot Matrix font.
I've added some more characters to the font, some cloned from the Lucid font, while others where taken from the datasheet for the Hitachi HD44780U (LCD-II).
I've made a new font wich contains many symbols to be used together with this font. It'll be released later.
The font contains some alternative glyphs for the "A", "S", "3", "4", "5", "7" and "9" characters in the Devanagari character space.
The upper- and lowercase letters "Ø", and "ø", has been cloned from the Lucid font. (The original "Ø", and "ø" could be found in the Devanagari character space).This is a clone of 5x8 LCD HD44780U A02

I've used this font before but had to import each letter into my vector program (CorelDraw) and then position them. There are too many objects for CorelDraw to convert this font into ttf.
So now with FontStruct I can finally render it as a ttf.

Bring back some dot matrix-y goodness to your printed documents with DMP-200 RS!
Based on the output of the Radio Shack DMP-200 printer, DMP-200 RS is a sans-serif fixed-width Dot Matrix Printer typeface from the early 1980s. The DMP-200 was used with the TRS-80 Color Computer and other fine Tandy computers.
A few non-alphanumeric characters have been created to match the original style.
This is a clone

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.

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.

A variant on my ImgWriter font. This time, the characters are white on a black background.

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. I also altered the "A with Ring Above" characters to look more consistent with the original version of the font.
2013.07.16: Slightly changed the appears of the 5 character in the superscript, subscript, and numberform characters.
Update: As was the case with the black-on-white version of this font, the character sets have been expanded. Unfortunately, while this does have superscript and subscript numbers, the fraction slash character wouldn't work as a zero-width character without mucking up any subscript and superscript characters.

A digital modular-font conceived to be used in LED matrix-based buss headsigns. It features upper and lower cases -- although the lack of descendants due to size constraints -- along with some basic figures and punctuation marks.

Here is another font coming from the Imagewriter II printer to your hard drive's font folder. This font is based on the printer's built-in proportional character set.
As was the case with my previous IMGwriter fonts, this includes characters (such as accented capitals and Greek characters) that are not originally part of the printer's default character sets.
UPDATES:
* 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.
* 2013.05.27: Greatly extended the character set.

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.

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!

Still preoccupied with simple typefaces that could have come from a dot matrix printer. Here's another new design.

Beauty from imperfection...
Using the "nudge" tool, I tried to make a dot matrix font where it looks like the print-head was damaged and the pins were consistently mis-aligned. Using a spreadsheet to help randomize the dot positions from center ( U/D/L/R ), the resulting effect looks merely "OK" on the screen; it's just not as subtle as I had hoped...
But you know what? I printed a couple of pages of text using this TTF font at 12-pt, and it seems to have a more 'natural' and 'authentic' look than dots that are perfectly aligned! So, I consider this one a success, and I hope you do, too. ;^)
