I'm looking for Star Trek fonts for the Macintosh (True Type). I need the TOS titles font and, in particular, the Movie and TNG starship hull font. Does anyone have these fonts or know where I can download them?

I have a program that will convert PC TrueType fonts to the Mac format, actually. If you find the PC versions I can just send the program to you.

I have just about every Trek font available on the net, all in Mac format, and can send you whichever ones you need.

The Shadow: Such a conversion program would be very helpful. I would appreciate your sending it. I have found the PC versions of both fonts that I need. My email address is [email protected]

Lax1701: Just in case the conversion program doesn't work, I would also appreciate your sending the two fonts I mentioned. My address is as above.

Thanks a lot. I was getting tired of drawing hull markings on my ships letter by letter.

By the way, for those of you who think TOS was the best Trek, at TLai Enterprises (http://www.tlai.com/med_des/modeling.html#amarillo) you can download a font resembling that used for TOS Enterprise hull. This font has been used by the US military since the 1950s. Don't use the "Federation Hull" font or "Machine" font; they are much too fat.

Um... I have another problem. How did you unzip files on a Mac?

StuffIt Expander and, uh, whatever MindVision's program is called can unzip them.

Hey! It worked! For some reason (stupidity, maybe) I was under the impression that Stuffit was unable to unzip zipped files. Anyway, the fonts have been unzipped, converted, and installed and are now functioning.

Thanks!
