Thanks, I did not even know about it yet.
I think Harting shifted the baseline of some characters some more, and this was yet another font for which the original .TIFF of the scans were out there on some BBS-es at the time, making it extra easy to re-do them if you were smart enough..

Merrill - is it possible this is not a font at all - but someone's handwriting effort?
It seems to be pixelated - and therefore, a bitmap scan as oppose to a smooth tiff or eps.
Perhaps a re-scan as a jpeg in grayscale to help. I ask because the weights of the same letters are different (look at the repeat cap B)...

Hello, I building an ATC simulator in flash. I found
these fonts here:
http://www.tls.cena.fr/products/fonts/bleriot_snapshots.html
but it turns out that flash does not uses these type of fonts.
I have fontLab but I also can't convert bdf to ttf...
I never build a font, is it possible to build a ttf from these bdf... if it is to complicated, does anybody knows similar free fonts I can use?
Tks in advance,
Yantis

hi David, I did have the entire alphabet once, as Tiff images. I'll try to get in touch with the designer, who found them somewhere and had them copied/scanned.
I'll let you know if I get hold of her.
Compliments, great job you did!
I used to create fonts from scans, using Fontographer on Mac - I'm talking of a million years ago. Around the same time when I was working on that book!
Yes, Internet makes the world very small.

Quote from the ReadMe: "Mandatory is a full font developed from the Charles Wright typeface used for UK vehicle registration plates. There is improved stroke separation on the M and W which are pointed at the centre, and the tail of the Q is thinner and clearer.
Mandatory has been designed to conform to the required proportions –
Height – 790 units
Width – 500 units
Stroke – 140 units
Sidebearings – 2 x 55 units (Letter spaces – 110 units)
Word/Group Space – 330 units
Pasted Graphic.tiff ¨
Only the Upper Case letters and the numerals are used for registration plates, although the capital I, which is the same as the 1, is not used and the Q will no longer be used but may still be required for updating old plates.
For designers, the font is completed with small capitals for the lower case, currency symbols, punctuation marks, printers' symbols and accented characters."
