Re: Converting from True Type Fonts?

Not knowing what application you have there, if it allows you to use
whatever printers you have installed in Windows AND if it allows you to
choose the font to use, you should be able to use the resident fonts in the
dot matrix printer. As an example, Windows will allow me to use an old
Epson MX-80 dot matrix printer. If I select this printer in, say, Word and
look at the font list, the resident "hardware" fonts in this printer will
appear in the list.

Hi,

Here is my situation. I have a need to print on multi-part forms, thus I
need to print to a dot-matrix printer. Problem is, is that the software I
have to use is not designed to print to a dot-matrix printer but rather a
laser printer. My best guess is that they are using True Type Fonts.

I've tried printing to my dot-matrix printer and the results are, well,
poor. So, I am wondering if anyone has heard of a utility that will
convert
the laser printer output of this application to dot-matrix form? It would
need to do this conversion on the fly so as to be as transperant to the
user
as possible.

Has anyone heard of such a thing or even know what I'm talking about?

We are using Windows XP Pro workstations and Windows 2003 Servers.

Thanks in advance,
Linn
