Ah, OK, makes sense.

Here is a site with lots (104!) of "typewriter fonts", which means fixed-pitch at least for most that I looked at. Lots of minor variations on a basic theme, but they're all free, so worth a look. I'm not sure which is closest in appearance to original 19C character set, or the proper size, otherwise I'd recommend a specific one. It has a nice feature that lets you enter arbitrary text and then you shows you your text in all the various fonts.
