"<b>HPLHS-Telegram</b> is a detailed replica of the type used on real Western Union telegrams in the 1920s and '30s." One of the <i>free</i> fonts you can download <a href="http://www.cthulhulives.org/toybox/PROPDOCS/PropFonts.html" rel="nofollow"><b>here</b></a> (or get as part of an even larger collection for purchase).<br /><br />Another, "<b>LD Telegram</b>" (Google it for a download source), has the regular corroded uppercase letters — but if you type <i>lowercase</i>, you get the same letters with cutting lines preprinted above and below, for Exacto-blading out your text stripes to paste into the telegram. Handy!<br /><br />For Continental (notably German) telegrams, needing the digrams ue/oe/ae to represent umlauted vowels, and the doubled-s ligature ("eszet" or "scharfes s"), try Mark Zanzig's <a href="http://www.fonts2u.com/teleprinter.font" rel="nofollow">"<b>Teleprinter</b>"</a> (Normal, Bold, I[n]talic, and Bold I[n]talic).
