    Default Vance's Trek fonts

    This looks like a valuable resource: New Trek fonts for free download, with very appropriate font names.

    Vance is the maker of Vance's toolkit, which enables one to create kitbashed TOS ships onscreen with an array of copy-and-paste elements. It can be found on Cygnus, here:

    Thanks Bill,

    I think the Okuda font comes a lot closer to what one sees on screen compared to the GTJ3 font.

    What do you guys think?

    In your sample I actually like GTJ3 better. Of the fonts used in Trek, the 3.5:1 version is my favorite, but I only use that one in my LCARS system for displaying characters 56 pixels tall or larger, and to do it up in TrueType would be hard. The characters are only perfectly formed and crisp when displayed in exact multiples of 28 pixels tall. Vance's Trek focus is primarily TOS. I once downloaded a TrueType editor and started making an LCARS font for others to use, but I found the editor extremely clunky after the experience of using my own user-pampering, homegrown editor, which is only for the SFF (LCARS 24) font format.

    I have to agree with Bill here:
    if you look at letters like the "G" and "R" they aren't shape correctly on this new Okuda font. Also I find the letter spacing and size too off.
    That's my opinion of course.
