For those interested in constant-width fonts for the HP Deskjet/Laserjet,
I have just put the font files for the font "Letter Gothic" in the ftp
directory pub/dick/deskjet+laserjet_fonts on the ftp site ftp.cs.vu.nl.
The file names are ltgothic.1st and ltgothic.arc .

The font is a serious manual touch-up of a ltg18 font that has been on many
ftp sites for ages, but which was to horrible to use. Now it's usable; it'll
never be elegant.

The intro file follows below.

The archive ltgothic.arc contains a Letter Gothic font for the HP Deskjet and
Laserjet.

Letter Gothic is a constant-width (monospace) sans-serif font that is very
readable, though somewhat unelegant.  It has nothing to do with English,
German or Italian Gothic (nor with Batman:-).

Presently only an upright 18 pts 7.7 chars/inch ASCII 95 font is available.

The archive contains three files:

	Name               Length    Date     
	=================  ========  =========
	LTG18RPN.DJP          22546  16 Aug 92		The Deskjet font file
	LTG18RPN.SFP          78789  16 Aug 92		The Laserjet font file
	LTG18RPN.SRC          16957  16 Aug 92		The sources in DJEDIT
	             ====  ========
	     Total      3    118292
