[GreenKeys] Weather Symbol Question

[Richard Knoppow]

       This looks pretty authentic to me but I have not seen any actual 
Teletype copy for some time.  I thought the M15 typeface was pretty much 
the same, can anyone confirm or deny that please.
       My new computer has a smoothing option for laptop and for 
desktop.  I have not tried it.  I think most Windows programs from XP at 
least on have a smoothing option somewhere.  I don't know if this 
accounts for the differences you observe.  The font I posted looks clean 
when printed out but is a "bold" font as I remember was true of the real 
thing. For some reason I have always been fond of the slightly art-deco 
Teletype typeface. BTW, what is the "pitch" of normal TT machines.  I 
assume about 10 pitch, which is the common large typewriter pitch.  It 
might be larger.
