The "0"s are zeroes and not "O"s, are they not?

It appears that your suggestion requires placing the font in the program 
needing it.

Since I am unsure and still cannot determine the precise method or 
program that calls for the fonts, even though these fonts may already be 
in the printer, I wonder if I can re-download them as soft fonts so that 
they can coordinate that with the "call" being sent by the program.  I'm 
not having much luck with this old compiler and I am not sure it the 
*.BAS code is correct.  How do I attach an ID to each font or is it just 
based upon the order they are uploaded?

I should be able to copy /b <esc>(0U<esc>s0p16.67h9.5v0s0b4102T from a 
text file to prn, should I not?  Edit can insert an <ESC> with the 
<CTRL><P>.
