I don't have much knowledge regarding printer fonts, hardware etc. but I think that you might be knowing that nobody talks of Hindi (Nagari) printer fonts. I even donot know how the OTLS will be available to such fonts. May be someone can answer whether it is possible to have Unicode encoded printer fonts for Nagari! Whether you are using Unicode encoding or some nonstandard/proprietary encoding?

You should be able to create embedded bitmaps in OpenType (TrueType) outline fonts for the correct size. FontLab makes a tool called Font Bitter that is supposed to help. However, I have not used the tool.

Hi, I found here a link (it must be an only long line when you copy the link into your web browser). It seems other people work on the same problem.

Windows prints in graphic mode, so is creating a TTF a good way to get printable fonts. Basically you have to create a vector graphic of each of the letters you need in an TTF creating software and to built/compile to a font.
