That darned PDP font

http://gargravarr.cc.utexas.edu/cc/artifacts/dec-pdp-11-processor-handbook-… My impression was that he was not referring to the |d|i|g|i|t|a|l| logo, but rather the circle-based style used on the rest of that cover. I've spent some time off and on (but apparently not "on" in the last four years) on a re-creation. I started with the outline version, because there are larger samples available in the chapter headings of those handbooks, and when I last left off had completed a draft of the alphabet (lower case only, of course), most punctuation, and a couple digits. I have never found any matching commercial fonts. In the outline form, adjacent letters overlap by the stroke width, so they were obviously not set in metal type, but those books are late enough to have been phototypeset. -- Kevin Schoedel <schoedel at kw.igs.net> VA3TCS
