I have seen a comercial program in some software stores called GOSCRIPT which
is supposed to do this.  It ain't cheap.  I recall it cost something in the
neighborhood of $200 - $300.  On the otherhand, there is also LQ, available at
SIMTEL20 and other places, which is a TSR which can work w/ WordPerfect and
other programs to make near letter quality print come off of your aging 9-pin
dot matrix printer.  It has several fonts, and the print is quite an
improvement, albeit slow to print since it causes your printer to print in
high density graphics mode.  You might want to give this a try.
