This is a set of realistic TTF-fonts that mimics the look of the HP-42S
LCD and the output created by the HP-82240 IR-printer. They are
especially created for listings grabbed from a HP-42S using the
INPRT program running on a HP-48. As shown by the example below, this
allows for beautifully rendered high-resolution listings that are ideal
for printing.
Note: As
the characters are remapped when printed to the IR-printers the
character codes in these fonts are slightly different compared to their
internal
representation inside the HP-42S. However, conversion between the two
should be trivial.
The following fonts are included in the zip-file:
- HP42SCharSet 3 (char42s.ttf)
- HP 82240 ROMAN8 CharSet (char82240_R.ttf)
- HP 82240 ECMA94 CharSet (char82240_E.ttf)
- HP 82143A CharSet 4 (char82143_E.ttf)
