All,
I am sure that this question has been asked before but search as I might, both here and throughout the web, I do not seem to find an answer.
**I need to know if there is a list out there of standard typewriter fonts/typefaces used on specific machines.**
I understand there are places where you can submit a sample of the typing and have someone hopefully respond with which font it is. I am trying to avoid having to do this with every typewriter I own. It seems like there would be a compiled list, something like below:
Underwood #4 - xxxx 10pt or 12pt typeface
Underwood #4 - xxxx 10pt or 12pt typeface
Remington Quiet Deluxe - Could be xxxx 10pt/12pt or xxxx 10pt/12pt
etc.
Having image examples of the different fonts would be great also. Just need to know if such a thing exists or not. I have several common manual typewriters, but do not know what the font is for any of them. Am I dreaming here?
Thanks,
Bruce Varner

Sounds like you're looking for a copy of the Nomda Blue Book, which lists typefaces as used by the various manufacturers. I don't know how often it was published, yearly perhaps for a while, but here's an example of it on Munk's website:
I'm sure searching the web for the book might be of help to you.
