Good info but I am looking for fonts for IBM typewriters.

Terrific. And here's some swell stuff about buggy whips.

I made a mistake, moving this to chat without getting the important connection.

Back to news.

There may have been more, back in the day. After word processors became common, finding typewriter supplies became an adventure. You'd have to get your office suppier to special order supplies, cuz they wouldn't stock them & the manufacturers stopped making portions of things origially available for their machines. Selectric was prolly supported longer & better than most, as a whole heck of a lot of them were sold.

I didn't "get it," either, hence my sarcastic post #3. I thought crushelits had gone off on a nostalgia trip. As penance for my misunderstanding, I'll do this post in an old typewriter, non-proportional font.
