Do you mean in real HUDs? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHx-OWdHqf8&feature=related I bet my whole font directory against that. Helvetica is not used in any HUD. Maybe it comes closer to something like 5345-44f.pdf but it is not Helvetica. Maybe 'Helvetica' is used as term for 'sans' in some MIL standard context. > > We went away from texture fonts as GUI default because they are blurry (though > a bit faster to render).

This is a great work used in the sign textures in FlightGear of course. I wanted to say here I 'can' integrate this work in a modified font to have it also ready for some signage needs (there is no need at the moment of course). But maybe it is also not a good idea to mix it all. > > Why do you mess with my design?! I did not want to mess you with your design!?
