Karen: The MicroLine 320T has built-in fonts; DOS-era drivers (through DOS v6.2, if not "7") allowed easy selection from these. I would hope that any useful Windows driver would map common TT fonts like Arial and Courier New to these.
Which Windows OS? The Okidata driver site lists drivers for EVERY windows version except XP.
