    Apologies, but I've only justy un-suspended this group, so didn't
 pick the beginning of the thread.

    I've been supporting users on WP 5.1+ (DOS) for some time - not
 the fancy facilities, but the system aspects.  It knows nothing about
 fonts - it has a list per printer of the ones which that printer
 claims to support, and allows you to select between them.  Select
 another printer, and the font selection changes.

    There are various add-ons which let you use soft fonts.  I use
 "TrueType for DOS", which works well with quite a range of programs
 including WP 5.1; but 5.1+ includes in the package "FaceLift", which
 does much the same thing.  Using TTfD, you can with ease use any Roman
 TTF font.  Using the widgets, algebraic, cyrillic or whathaveyou fonts
 is possible but more complicated.  Two disadvantages:  the printing
 speed drops to graphics; and you need a screen-extender (also in WP
 5.1+) to get long lines displayed on the screen.  Of course, TTfD does
 NOT make WP 5.1 in any way WISYWIG.
