It is not difficult to make these proper n-fonts. You can do it with N-Font,
a PD program, or Suitcase II. My main beef with the fonts is that fonts are
not the same "width" as the normal fonts of these names. All my documents
I had nicely formatted in the old times font now take more space than before
and I have to go through and completely repaginate to fix things up. Also,
they seem very poor printed on the imagewriter. And there is no 20 point
size (so I can't get high-rez 10 point text on an imagewriter). They are
nicer on the screen though...
