print with a font not installed in your system

Hi Experts,
I need to print a report (in Visual Fox Pro 9) with a Font that I cannot find to download in the web. The Font name is Font B11 and it is used in Epson Fiscal Printers. I assume they are installed in the printer driver. Any idea how can I import it from the driver and install it in the Windows/ fonts directory?
thanks a lot

It appears that 'Font B11' is installed in the Epson printer and listed in the printer driver. I had an HP Laserjet III that worked that way, fonts were installed in the printer and not in the computer. That used to be more common. But it also means that you can not import that font into Windows to use with other printers.

Google shows a bunch of listing for 'Font B11'. Are none of them suitable?

Thank you Dave for your quick answer!!
I downloaded a couple of B11 from the web, but they were quite different. I'll keep looking.
The report I need to print is in that same Epson Fiscal Printer. I think the problem is that the Fiscal printer is a dot matrix printer. When making tests from the printer properties (in Control Panel), I can choose the B11 and it prints correctly. But when I am designing a report form (in Visual Fox), I cannot see the font B11 to choose. I only see fonts installed in my Windows.
Thanks again!
