Anybody know the name of the font used for the

at the top of www.pdp11.org)? I'd love to be able to do some other stuff
with the same "look", but doing it by hand in a graphics program is doing
it the hard way...
It's not all the same font (unless someone made one up specially). The
letters "pdp" are a tweaked version of Futura (ither Medium or Book, I
can't remember which). BTW, the "11" doesn't look the same as on any of
my
PDP11 docs; normally, they're Helvetica Bold, but in the logo at the top of
http://www.pdp11.org/, they're done in what appears to be a
slightly-modified Futura. The "/34" or equivalent that you see in
particular model numbers is normally also Helvetica, but stretched. I could
give you a (scalable) PostScript copy of the "pdp11/34" logo if that would
help...
