- Dot Matrix is designed to look like an old dot matrix printer
- font, the kind you used to get from your IBM compatible printer
- in the old days (before the sweet gods revealed PostScript).
-
- I developed the font because I needed to create a pill bottle
- label for a movie that I was creating props for. I'm sure some-
- body could find some use for it too. The font was created with
- Fontographer 3.0.
-
- Dot Matrix contains an odd assortment of characters, since some
- of the more detailed and tiny Macintosh characters don't make
- sense when you make them with a lot of dots. For example, the
- registration mark character (option-R) is too complex and tiny to
- create in a bunch of tiny dots. In their place, I have included
- some greek characters which one is more likely to find in the
- character sets of IBM-compatible dot matrix printers. There are
- 186 characters in the font.
-
- The file here contains the screen and printer fonts and AFM file
- (not that you would need the AFM file). The screen fonts come in
- sizes 10, 12, 14, 18, and 24. The screen fonts look a little
- strange, but the printer font looks much better.
-
- This font is shareware. If you like Dot Matrix and if downloading
- it has saved you hours and hours of having to make up this font
- for yourself, please send $10.00 to:
