| MegaVolt:
Maybe someone recognizes this font? I came across it in the Fluke docs. |
| BrianHG:
Maybe here: https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/?1#ibm-dos Scan through all their low res bitmap fonts. You might find a better match. Their test typing preview doesn't work. It just uses a true-type font. |

Unfortunately, there was no complete match. This font looks like a mechanical printing device. Which prints the whole letters. |

It looks like a so-called stroke font. So the difference is that it has uniform thickness, and it can be "printed" with a plotter. Or used on PCB as text without violating thickness rules. |
