Font used in d|i|g|i|t|a|l logo? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Bill:

	When I did my rendition of the logo, I used a stock TrueType Font. I
just can't remember the name right now. It's not a base Windows font and it
didn't come with MS Word.

 	I can check tonight. I did a PDP logo by hand for my Web site using
 MS Paint. It's a sans serif font, but not Arial or Helvetica. It's not
 Lucida, either.

 	Now, I don't know if this is the actual name of the font used (if
 you ask a DEC person), but it's indistinguishable.

IIRC -- it's a modified Helvetica... The original was pretty 
much a kind of wood-cut block thing that looked more like 
Futura then Helvetica.  Then came the blue helvetica thing with
the squarish dots on the i's.

Then they paid big money for the maroon move and rounted i's.
