character set generator

Hello,

I would like to print upside down characters with our ESC/P compatibel
printers ( Epson LQ 680, Oki 390 FB etc. ) from a command line application.

AFAIK there is no ESC sequence to do this, so I would like to use a
customer character set with inverted characters.

Does a possibly free character set generator for ESC/P exist or did
someone already generate a custom character set with upside down
characters ?

Thanks
Andreas

What OS u using? Xp has a little known character editor. Look at the help in
character map and see help for "private character editor". theres even a
link in the help file to open it! You WILL have to create the characters
yourself, one at a time. I'm sure there are probably other freeware font
creators/editors on the net also.

If it's only a small number of copies then laser printers have sufficiently
good registration for a 2 pass job, one for right way up, one for
upside down, you just have to tweak the margins to put
the chars where you want. Probably works for inkjets as well.

Hello,

what I need is a character set generator for the printer, not windows.
