Several Calculator Fonts here.
What was more
amusing was two different versions -- "with tails" and
without! :>
There's also the 'hooked 7' (segments a,b,c,f using the conventional
names), used by some Japanese manufacturers. AFAIK no TTL decoder ever
generated that one. In the mid 70's there were several circuits in the
UK magazines to turn 7
segment code back into BCD, so you could use clock/calculator/DVM chips
with built-in display drivers in other logic circuits. Most of those
encoder circuits, of course, made liveral use of the 'don't care states'.
Some of said circuits would handle both tailed and tail-less 6's and 9's,
but IIRC most of them failed on hooked 7's.
But I want 9 segment Displays! :(
