I don't beleive this is possible.  Not that the software would be especially
difficult to write; it probably would take only a day or two.  The problem
is that the ImageWriter (like most dot-matrix printers) does not print 
characters one at a time.  It collects an entire line of text then prints
it all at once.  Thus, characters are a uniform size and evenly spaced.
