[Coco] CoCo font for Mac/PC/etc.

I did find a licensed CoCo font. You can download it from myfonts .com. You have to sign up, then a $0.00 purchase (no credit card or anything required). This entitles you to install the font on up to 5 systems. However, I toyed with it in GIMP this morning. The TRS-80 mod I font is much closer than this CoCo font. It does provide reverse lowercase, but the letter shapes are not correct, for example, an uppercase "O" is simply a box and an "S" is a modified "Z". So this may or may not fit the bill. If no one has created a true CoCo set, perhaps we can take that on. The emulators appear to have correct fonts, they may just be in a non-portable format. Perhaps these can be converted?

Cheers,
