PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion
What's up people? New guy here.
So for a really long time I've wanted the font used for the TG16 logo, as well as various games.
You know the one:
I never found a perfect match, but I did find Mekanik.
I'm using it as a base, and am modifying it to more closely resemble the target font.
As you can see, progress is coming along:

Now obviously it's not perfect yet.
For example, I've found that zero shouldn't have a slash, my W is fat, and my 'lowercase' J is extended too high.
I do aim to perfect it eventually, though!
All I need are straight, high-quality scans of any cases, cards, manuals, or magazines that use this font.
So can anyone point me in the right direction?
Maybe you know of a good archive?
Maybe you can scan some of your collection?
Every little bit helps!
I hope you like what you see so far, and I can't wait to see this project completed.
UPDATE: There are now two versions of the font!
Version 0.0:
This is the first version I released; about 60% complete, with 70% accuracy.
Accurate enough for most applications, but ultimately flawed.

Version 0.1:
I'd call this version around 70% complete, and 90% accurate; a vast improvement to the previous version.
+ Capital letters were adjusted to be slightly shorter.
+ All characters were adjusted for accuracy.
+ Many characters were added or replaced, such as currency symbols.[/color]
- Accented characters are currently improperly spaced.
- Accents themselves are off-center and commonly touching the tops of characters.
