Simulation of the output of early phototypesetters, or a Gerber photoplotter is a little tricky because you need the glyph information that was printed on the mechanism that shot the images of the characters onto the film output; which could be moved around in different slots depending on the job being typeset. Later units used high resolution CRT like things to form the characters.

There were a few very unique glyphs in Bell Labs' typesetter, like the
AT&T trademark
