I dont know if this will help, but I wrote a font editor for the
IBM Proprinter.  The two are pretty much compatible, but I am not
sure how compatible they are for downloading fonts, so it may not 
work on an Epson.

I could post (or mail) it if anybody is interested.  I have the following
fonts defined for the proprinter:

	* standard
	* italic
	* near-letter-quality (roman-sarif)
	* cursive (needs work however)
	* a 'fat' font

In addition to these, it is very easy to define your own (11x8 characters).

All of these fonts may also be used on a graphics display within your own
program (i have routines to plot these fonts from a turbo pascal program).
An additional font allows you to have 120 columns (or so) on a standard
graphic display (but under your own program control only) - this font
also needs a little work.

If there is interest, I could mail people this program (no guarantees
that it will work on an Epson though), or if there is enough interest 
I could post it to this newsgroup (along with the fonts).
