I like it. Can I expect a technical description some time?

Locutus, could you tell me which font you use for the part that says "Tetryon Structural Integrity"?

I came across the font about a year ago. It seems to be *exactly* like the LCARS type - doesn't need stretching or kerning adjustment.

I've had to try and convert the font from Mac truetype to a Windows .ttf truetype... hope it's worked

Mac go here:

Sounds fascinating. Only one question: Are the tetryons supposed to enhance structural integrity, or are the new materials necessary to support the tetryons?

Page Not Found. Did anyone else get this when they clicked on the link for the LCARS font?

You have to save the file, not click it.

When I downloaded the font and double clicked on it I got a prompt saying...

Font View Application
The requested file was not a valid font file.

Did anyone get this or did it work fine on your computer?

I used a converter utility to translate the Mac version of the font to a PC version. When uploading some of the line feeds may have got messed up... I'll upload it from a PC tomorrow
