Speaking of DEC fonts, does anyone know what was used on the Data
General Nova machines?
Thanks!

Helvetica for the main logo "DATA GENERAL", "NOVA 3" and the button
digits 0-15.
The rest of the captions aren't so easily identifiable ("CARRY", "PR
LOAD", "MEM PAR" etc). They're something else, but quite close to
Univers or Univers Extended.
The yellow engraved stuff on the right metal is whatever font their
engraving machine used, it's not a typesetting font.

I have three with white plastic.? The plastic is white for sure. Also
IIRC, the plastic is gloss finish.
The same casting (including defects) is used for the Eclipse of the same
era and type (S/130 or 140? something like that).? It's white plus blue
for the legend.
thanks

I got nothing for you Jay, sorry. :) That's how it came to me.
btw, sorry for the post - I misread "fonts" as "fronts" and figured
someone wanted a picture. *laughs* (Don't get old kids, your eyes go
first, and then something else I can't remember goes next.)
