Hi TeXers

I apologise if this is in the supplementary info; I don't have a copy at the
moment and I need this yesterday. I am looking for a non-proportional font
of the IBM PC character set, including the line drawing characters. I have a 
whole bunch of text screen dumps that I need to make into figures, and this
seems like the best approach.

Does anyone know if/where such a font is available, or have other suggestions
about how to do these figures? 

BTW, I did try using xterm, xwd and xpri; I also tried xwd2pnm and pnm2ps.
I found that the one case produced small files but that they were trash, while
the other case produced files over 1Mb in size each time (a pixel image).
I want a solution that (i) works (ii) without creating huge files.

Thanks in advance
Graham
