Are you sure that there aren't suitable fonts already available?

I recently completely redrew a quite complex circuit of an RAF Indicator Unit originally drawn in the 1950s. I had an original in appalling condition which I scanned and then totally reconstructed in MS paint. I wanted the end result to look as identical in style to the original as possible, including fonts. From the enormous choice available in Paint I found suitable ones which I was quite pleased with.
