I'm not sure what you mean by one point size font. I typeset the
MicroEMACS manual as I get new versions, and I use three point sizes,
plain, bold, and italic, plus a constant width 12 pitch for the tables
which need it.

I forget the details on setting it up, but the font names are defined in
the setup file for the particular printer, along with the escape
sequences to initiate them, and you have to provide font width tables, a
real pain by any measure.
