Very nice, indeed. Vance ... you should be seeing a donation heading your way. My apologies for taking so long, I was having trouble updating PayPal with current banking information.

Keep up the good work.

About the Okuda font, people who use Truetype with their LCARS graphics generally use Halvetica ultracompressed, which seems to match the shape of most of the LCARS fonts seen onscreen, but the problem with it and all other TrueType fonts that come close is that characters that are round at top and/or bottom fall one pixel short of the boundary.

I don't use TrueType for LCARS, since my LCARS system has its own font drivers, but people who embed fonts using Illustrator, etc. do have a need for an LCARS font that looks like that seen on VOY and DS9 but without the above-mentioned problem.

Mine, not Truetype, are like this:

I purchased a set of fonts about 15 years ago or so and that had Swiss 911 Compressed as the LCARS font. As these fonts were licensed by Paramount, I always assumed that they were the ones actually used. Here's a link for the font and you can decide for yourself http://www.azfonts.net/load_font/swiss_911_ultra_compressed_bt.html
