Maybe someone has a lead on this, I've tried and found a dead end.


I'm looking for True Type or Open Type fonts, that resemble the
fonts that the IBM Selectric Typewriter had on metal balls.

Two fonts in particular are:

Bookface and Light Italic.

Thanks for any help :)
 
Have you tried looking for Postscript, Adobe type 1, or even TeX fonts ? I think early versions of OS/2 had some selectric-style fonts in there, but I've no easy way of checking this at the moment.

You know, that line actually has a certain ring to it. I'm just trying to figure out if it's a Firefly line, or a Enterprise potential line.

So many fonts to look through, it would take an eternity.

Thanks. I was actually referring to the left and middle mouse button buffers, as you probably know, but when I wrote that I immediately recognized the usefulness of the phrase for other references. :)

PS: I didn't mean to drag this up again, but needed to post in the "other" category in order to check the search function on the forum.
