Ah, Commodore products. Remember them? This is from their most popular printer! (The MPS-801, but you can guess that from the title.) For some reason, years ago I felt compelled to print out an entire CHR$ list. Now fast-forward to present day, where me with a smartphone can take photos of it and zoom in and stuff and put together a whole font. Dot matrix is so easy, hm? :)

Here is the fourth -- and final -- unique font to come from the ImageWriter II. I had a bit of difficulty trying to copy this from a standard printout using my ImageWriter II's without manipulation. Each character in the ImageWriter II's "Near Letter Quality" (NLQ) mode jammed a 16x14 character into what would normally be an 7x7 template. I wound up figuring out that the ImageWriter printed each character's odd-numbered pixel rows before printing out the even-numbered pixel rows. Ultimately, I caught a rather (un)lucky break after the printer would mess up after the odd-numbered pixel row printout. This worked out because I was able to separate the alternating rows, then I spliced them back together. Getting back to the font's attributes, ImgWriter NLQ, much like my previous ImgWriter entries, features characters that were not a part of the original design -- accented capital letters, the "fi" and "fl" ligatures, the yen and Euro symbols, fractions, et. al. The only character in this font that is not monospaced is the ellipses (or "dot-dot-dot"); this was made to be a double-spaced character to cut down on the white space between periods. Enjoy! -------- 2014.04.15: Small update includes combining diacritic marks; this was done to circumvent a bug in some Mac programs where the accented characters wouldn't appear correctly after typing in Option+N then N, for example. (Last updated on 2013.05.06: Includes a greatly expanded character set.)

Another font based on Apple's old ImageWriter II printer. This variation of the font originally followed a strict "dot matrix" pixel layout -- none of the dots nestle into a triangle shape. -------- 2014.04.15: Small update includes combining diacritic marks; this was done to circumvent a but in some Mac programs where the accented characters wouldn't appear correctly after typing in Option+N then N, for example.

Here is another font coming from the Imagewriter II printer to your hard drive's font folder. This font is based on the printer's built-in proportional character set. As was the case with my previous IMGwriter fonts, this includes characters (such as accented capitals and Greek characters) that are not originally part of the printer's default character sets. UPDATES: * 2014.04.15: Small update includes combining diacritic marks; this was done to circumvent a bug in some Mac programs where the accented characters wouldn't appear correctly after typing in Option+N then N, for example. * 2013.05.27: Greatly extended the character set.

A variant on my ImgWriter font. This time, the characters are white on a black background. -------- 2014.04.15: Small update includes combining diacritic marks; this was done to circumvent a but in some Mac programs where the accented characters wouldn't appear correctly after typing in Option+N then N, for example. I also altered the "A with Ring Above" characters to look more consistent with the original version of the font. 2013.07.16: Slightly changed the appears of the 5 character in the superscript, subscript, and numberform characters. Update: As was the case with the black-on-white version of this font, the character sets have been expanded. Unfortunately, while this does have superscript and subscript numbers, the fraction slash character wouldn't work as a zero-width character without mucking up any subscript and superscript characters. ----- Made public on 2010.11.01 Last updated on 2010.05.23 (Dates based on California time)This is a clone of ImgWriter Draft

This font is based on one of the fonts used by the Apple ImageWriter II dot-matrix printer. Included with this font are the basic Greek alphabet and the Japanese Katakana lettering. ---- Made public on 2010.10.30 2014.04.15: Small update includes combining diacritic marks; this was done to circumvent a but in some Mac programs where the accented characters wouldn't appear correctly after typing in Option+N then N, for example. 2013.07.16: Slightly changed the appears of the 5 character in the superscript, subscript, and numberform characters. Last updated: 2013.05.04... This font was taken down briefly mainly so I could bolster the font by adding several new glyphs -- including superscript and subscript numbers, fractions, and even some image images that you'd expect to see on your computer screen. (Dates based on California time.)

Hey fellas! i know it seems kind of "up to date" to dot around, but beate and her(?) featured download inspired me to experience some DOTTING as well. The cool thing about using dots is, that the viewers eye/brain/imagination does the MAIN part while viewing it. There are 8(!) more different angles possible, because of the half circle bricks... hope you like it! cheers kix
