Hello folks,

	I have a TEO PX-80 printer which is a lot like the EPSON MX-80
in terms of escape sequences it recognises. Anyway, during the Christmas
holidays, I generated a printer driver that does *all* the First Word
characters (the greek alphabet and math stuff and all). It does all the
standard characters by simply printing them out, and the same goes for
bold and underline and other escape sequences which my printer understands,
but all the other "funny" characters are done by bit-image printing.
It should be quite easy to modify the file for an Epson compatible
printer, but if you have a completely different printer, this is the way
to make designing the font easy.

	The technique I used required Degas (yes!), the manual for
the BASIC and a convenient Unix system (optional). First, open the
BASIC manual to page E-1, pages E-1 and E-2 show what the 8x8 font
looks like on a grid. Next, start up Degas(TM) and chose "Define brush"
option. This will present you with an 8x8 grid (!), simply use the mouse
to click on and turn on and off the fat-pixels until you get the 
"up-arrow" (
(say).
