Re: [Ql-Users] Font
There is a font called SirClive that is the same as the font that Sinclair Research used for the Spectrum and QL logos. It can be found at: http://www.urbanfonts.com/fonts/SirClive.htm There is a ZX Spectrum font that is a 8x8 pixel font so that text can look like it was printed on the Spectrum. It can be found at: http://www.fonts2u.com/sinclair-zx-spectrum-es-regular.font Tim Swenson ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

The letters used in the Sinclair logo seem very similar in both the SFSquareHead and SirClive font, with the exception that the taller letters like l seem a bit taller in the former, and the letters in the latter are generally thinner. www.dilwyn.me.uk/fonts/index.html All we need now is for someone to make a QL-like font to match the Spectrum one!

Re: [Ql-Users] Font
Well I've just used the new BMP import and EPS export on PCBDesign to create a vectorized Postscript version of the QL font. Does anybody want to take it from there?

For unknown reasons, I have thought, it was ready to use ;-). Just had a quick look through the net...it seems possible with Corel Draw (which I do not have) or with programs, which let you design a TTF from scans (for designing your own fonts).

Re: [Ql-Users] Font
Well I've now exported each character from Illustrator as a .svg glyph. Any suggestions on what to do now?

Hi I've downloaded Font View, probably the only free font program. I'll have a look at it tonight.

Does anybody want to take it from there? I have a rather old version of a font editing program FontLAB, which I must admit, I have never used. The manual states it can import EPS glyphs (letter shapes) and export as .ttf fonts. So if can get hold of this EPS file I can give it a try.
