Ah, GOTCHA warning... American Typewriter ain't monospaced! It is a very
nice font that looks like typewriter output, but in fact it has variable
spacing. MACHINE isn't monospaced either, and only comes in UPPER CASE to
boot (from memory). OCR B or Prestige Elite look like the only choices
from Adobe. I'd go for OCR B myself.

Disclaimer: I've been know to be wrong before...
