Speaking of which, I need the RAF font to do custom serials, instead of having to line up all them horrible little stencils.

Since the Roundel is now under copyright from your MOD/RAF, what are the chances that they will expand on this lunacy and start charging for their official font styles?  Hate to give them any ideas but with this latest flap about the copyright on the Roundel, what can we expect next from the flying monkeys?

Speaking as someone who works in the design media (even if it is for a bunch of bastards like Trinity-Mirror), I can safely say that you can never have too many fonts.

Here are some additional links for fonts and insignias that should be of use to those in need of specific styles for their projects. This is considered "ShareWare" and will require registration and payment to allow full use of the software.  Not that I have pockets over flowing with currency at the moment, but I certainly would enjoy the opportunity to actually use this software and be creative within my own limitations.

Steelwolf Medium Samples SteelWolf Medium - VRML Logotype Font is styled after the Terminator 2 logotype, uppercase only. This is a popular offering, and you are encouraged to register your copy.

Please Note: There is a bootleg version of SteelWolf Medium circulating around the PC world. The file is called "terminat.ttf" and yields a font called "Terminator Two" when installed.

This TrueType file was converted from a 1993 version of SteelWolf Medium, and all of the shareware info was wiped out in the process. Instead of showing the proper copyright and contact info, it will instead show "Converted by ALLTYPE."  If you've used it extensively, please consider installing and registering the real thing. Unlike the bootleg, SteelWolf for the PC comes in both Type 1 and TrueType.
