SH3's patrol briefing text font

The Avon Lady · 10-01-05, 01:10 PM

Anyone know if the font used internally by SH3, for displaying patrol briefing text, is available as an installable Windows FON or TTF file?

Yes, I'm aware of other free typewriter fonts but I'm specifically interested in SH3's.

TIA.

I think that these fonts are TGAs, not any windows useable files.

You would have to create them yourself.

Yeah, I've already been down that path looking for it. In my travels though, I did find a site full of nifty WWII-era German fonts...but I digress...

I found lots of typewriter fonts, but only one that came reasonably close. However, it failed the readability test in HTML (I was gonna use it for the Personnel Files), so it was back to good 'ole Courier New...

Anyway, good luck! Let me know if you find something you like.

Here's what I found:

All fonts shown in 36 point size. My personal preference is GF Halda Smashed.

If you're interested in any, I can upload them.

I agree. I've been using one called "Typical Writer". It's not a bad representation of a typical typewriter.
