Electro-optical signal translation means and methods are provided for use in printing and other applications. An electro-optical signal translator has a font carrying images each identified by a set of orthogonal coordinates. Means define radiant energy beam paths and a plurality of radiant energy sensitive means are operatively positioned for defining a second orthogonal coordinate. The first means preferably comprises a plurality of light sources operatively associated with a plurality of light pipes for passing light beams through the font and onto a deflecting means for deflecting light beams to photoelectric cells for defining the second orthogonal coordinate and thus selecting a particular image carried by the font.
