I am looking for a set of fonts which provide WYSIWYG display when printing
with an Imagewriter I using the Draft mode.  I want to get as many of the
built-in fonts represented as possible.

I have moved several reports from old Apple ][ and Apple III applications,
and want to maintain the same "look".

The reports made use of Expanded and Compressed modes on the printer.
The built-in fonts called P1 & P2 were also used.  

Note: Users of either
Apple III's, III E-Z pieces or Apple ]['s Apple Works will recognize these
fonts as choices in those programs.  This is the only use of those very
good, built-in, proportional fonts I have ever seen.  These fonts are fast
and look as good as many of the bit-mapped fonts printed in the "Faster"
mode on the Mac using an Imagewriter.  P1 looks very much like 12 point
"pica" font and P2 looks very much like 10 point "Elite" font.  The keyword
here is CLOS  but not good enough for WYSIWYG representations on report forms.

I would really appreciate a direct E-Mail response, as I some times don't
see all the net postings.

Thanks,
Steve Jaynes
