  • 9700 fonts

    From Peter Flass@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jun 23 15:37:54 2025
    I'm interested in reprinting some old documents that were originally
    formatted for, and printed on, a 9700. Are bitmaps available for the
    Press Roman, Univers, and whatever the monospaced font was? I know Press
    Roman is *almost* Times New Roman, and I assume Univers is *almost*
    Helvetica, but I'd like to get as close as possible to the originals.

    I uploaded a bunch of Globalview 300 dpi font floppies to http://bitsavers.org/bits/Xerox/XSoft/GV_Fonts/300dpi/3.5in_DSHD/

    I have no idea how to extract the files or even what format they would be in if they were extracted

    The reference manual for the 9700 is up now http://bitsavers.org/pdf/xerox/laser_printing_systems/9700

    There is only a couple of pages on fonts.
