Wow. I was just joking, in both of my posts.
Maybe it is you who is too intense?

Title font for WRATH OF KHAN?

As I said, I wasn't necessarily taking about you. And my post was in response to the intensity of others. Just look around any popular forum and you will see what I'm talking about. But as I also said, much is often misunderstood. You now think that my expressing confusion (even sadness) over all of this is intensity.
All this started because I made a suggestion for a font replacement. I was thinking that the desired font was unavailable, so I suggested one to use in it's place. To me it seemed like a usable substitute. Others however, took it as an insult maybe, certainly as an act of stupidity. And therein lies the the problem.
As for you, I have just one thing to say...
Tech Manual scan here: http://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/lcars/sftm.php
Which font do you mean, the one "Star Trek" is written in or the one the rest is written in?
The first one i don't know, but the second one seems to be "Microgramma", "Federation" is the name of a freeware alternative (i believe created by trek fans after the Tech Manual).
The one that "Star Trek" is written in. Of course, speaking of the Tech Manual it would be cool to find a font that's like FJ used for the "callouts".
I'm not familiar with the term "callout". A font similar to the one used for the text in the TM, can be found here, created by longterm forum member Vance: http://www.pixelsagas.com/fonts/Font_Table.php?cmdFile=Font_Star_Trek.idx
I'll check it out. The callouts are where you point to something and say "warp engine" or "reverse nucleonic riptatorium imparter".
Myfonts suggests "Bryant" for the text-font, the description:

i know this is old but it gave me a total LOL to read.
if someone is asking for the name of a specific font, WTF is up with telling them a name of a font you think looks like it?
that would be like a mechanic asking what kind of car your Ford Escort is and getting the answer that it looks like it might be a Chevrolet. Sure it does, to you, but that doesn't help buy the part.
By the way, the Franz Joseph font is a variation of "Eurostile"... it is the "Extended" (width) "Light" (weight) variation and can be found in free form under the name "Palindrome" -- the same font was used to make Microgramma, which can be found in the real world as "Eurostile Bold Extended" or "Palindrome Bold Expanded" -- this was used on starship hulls but they tweaked it or used a proprietary variant with some custom looks from the modelmakers of the '80s to the 3d modelers of the 90s and today. The ST:Enterprise title font based off it is called Jefferies

I know this is an oldie, but it's a font I've looked for over the years and am glad to see it named.
If you have moral issues with paying money for bits, I would remind people that (as I reaffirmed after searching for this font), Google is your friend.
