Thanks, Al. That's just the sort of thing I was looking for.
I don't think that does overstrike, does it?
Illustrator will handle overstrike as well as let you choose a suitable
font. You could print from there, or if you really wanted a bitmap,
then PhotoShop will rasterize Illustrator at whatever resolution for printing.
A long time ago, I wrote a simple filter to take old overstrike ASCII
art and convert to .AI format: http://www.threedee.com/jcm/aaa/
For that matter, certainly some of the old 70s picture booths used
dot-matrix as dots and not fonts, and not teletype or Diablo, so they
generally had easy-to-compute fixed dithering to make gray.
