I am looking for a font that contains the letters and numbers needed to
put together TV channel dingbats like the ones seen in _TV_Guide_.

A *long* time ago, I saw a similar font available through AM Varityper
(as it was then) for their phototypesetting system.  This font had the
numbers in both regular and inverse type, but not letters as are seen 
today for cable channels.

Does anyone know where such a font might be available for downloading to
PostScript printers? BTW, I am running Ventura 2.0 and MS Word on an
IBM-XT compatible and an Apple LaserWriter II.

Thank you for your help.  Please respond via E-mail and I will summarize.
