tatapoum Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Hello,It seems that everybody use the classic helvetica bold as front panel font.Has anyone used some other font and could provide a photo of the result ?My idea is to used the 'Arch, 1-stroke' font with an engraving burin of 0,4 mm (0,2 seems to thin). I want something more fun than Helvetica.The result with FPD is fine, but I don't know if the result will be similar.Thank you,ludo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhitesma Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I personally can't stand helvetica. I haven't finished my midiboxes yet but I have used Front Panel Express (The north america division of Schaeffer) before and really liked their "Euro" font it was the closest they had to Frutiger which is what most of my own documents are prepared with for consistance.I used Euro Outline with a .2 burin for the top lettering. And Euro 5-stroke with the .2mm burin for the lower lettering. The lables under the LED's I did break down and use helvetica since it was the most redable at that size.

tatapoum Posted March 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Thank you for this picture. That shows the good rendering made by Schaeffer.I'm now confident with the Archi font...By the way, I wrote by e-mail to Schaeffer about this font but they never answer me.ludo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moebius Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 It seems to go unnoticed, that the Front Panel Designer uses "standard" shx CAD fonts - although the most fonts found from the Internet simply crash the software after being installed. :PIt would be interesting to know, if these working 3rd party fonts can be used in the layout made to be manufactured by the Schaeffer (instead of just using the image and the lazertran or something). The online documentation doesn't say anything about this.Bye, Moebius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
