| You'll also find Dark Courier and Onuava, along with other non-proportional fonts such as
Crystal and HyperFont, at Old
Typewriter Fonts. (Note: January 2003 -
this website is lately occasionally out of action.)
Some of fonts on the Old Typewriter Fonts site go for the
"grunge" look, and are not suitable for contest
entries or submission to editors.
Further, some fonts that look fine on your browser screen
might look a little "iffy" on your word processing
screen. The only way to properly trial some fonts is to
print a test page.
If you like the look of a new font, and are not sure whether
it is or is not a non-proportional or monospaced font, then try
the following test:
Times
New Roman, proportional font:
aaaaaaaaaa
iiiiiiiiii
wwwwwwwww
Ten
letters in each line; each line is a different length.
Courier
New, non-proportional font:
aaaaaaaaaa
iiiiiiiiii
wwwwwwwwww
Ten
letters in each line; each line is the same length.
If
you don't have TNR and Courier New on your computer, then the
above example might not display correctly.
A
note for Mac users
Many
of the fonts you'll find will be TT fonts, and the files are
zipped. If you can decompress the PC zip files, then you can
convert Windows TT fonts into Mac compatible fonts. See the
links below.
