In this picture, I can only see a white outline around the E-C's registry.

Yes, the white outline is there as well, but I'm maintaining that the outline beyond that is red. If it were black it would show up as dark as the main number. The fact that the outline beyond white is so hard to see is because red is not as strong a color (and most Ambassador Class photos are poor quality). If you look at the "USS Enterprise" on the hull in that pic, there's a red tint overall to the outline of those letters.

This one isn't exactly a font as we know it. It was used in early CAD and CG programs, and it's basically just lines and curves (if there are any true curves in it) being used to literally draw the letters. It looks to me like the animation is being drawn on a vector display.

The "Pro" version of Amarillo has all the proper letters. The shareware version circulating as freeware doesn't. http://www.tlai.com/med_des/ausafpro.html
I paid and downloaded Pro. Works very nicely!

Just as long as the fonts can be installed without the installer. [Wink]
