John asked:

Does anyone know of a good source for computer fonts (preferably
Windows-compatible) of antique characters

Adding to John's request, can anyone give me details (name, source of
download) of the British public sign font, used for most of the offical
signs in public places - the one that you see in airports, railway stations,
road signs etc., which is designed to be very easy to read.

'Helvetica' in various weights and compressions has been used for much 
public signage for many years but I'm not sure if this is the font you 
are referring to.
