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.

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.
