HP just released a set of scalable fonts thhat might do the job. They
are supposed to be instalable into popular applications (sorry, I have
no experience on what that means). The fonts are scalable in 1/2 point
increments from 4 to 200 points.  There are several options and part
numbers. The most interesting is an introductory pack that includes
all the fonts and setup programs for about $225. Part number is C2054A
Opt ABA fr 5 1/4", C2052A Opt ABA for 3 1/2"

That's all I know about it.
