I think you may have to get the FORTRAN programs from other FORTRAN 
versions than the IBM 1130.
THE JEFFERSON COMPUTER MUSEUM ( http://www.threedee.com/jcm/index.html ) 
was looking
for  the full character set of the ASR-33 for scanning to create a PS 
font. I think the same idea would be good
for the IBM line printer fonts. Note they still want the ASR-33 
character set too.

It is good to see a WORKING  IBM-1130 since they are very rare compared 
to how many were made,
That last one I've seen was in 1981. In 1982 it was replaced with a VAX, 
and scrapped for gold.
