     I have an IBM PC with a Tecmar graphics master, and a Toshiba P1350
printer.  I am interested in displaying text on both the monochrome monitor
and the printer while in graphics mode.  I am doing this "just for grins."

     Does anyone know where I can get "standard" character set information,
or any idea how to go about turning a (for example) 18 by 24 pixel array
into a character?  My artistic ability is just about nil, so "get in there
and draw one" isn't a good response.

     I have heard of a "Hershey book" of fonts, but I have no idea what is
in it or how to obtain it.  I believe it is out of print.  Has anyone done
anything like this?
