Anyone seen a Tron game font?
« on: May 01, 2007, 10:16:08 pm »
Just curious, as I've found the Tron movie font but haven't located one that mimics the text on a game of Tron.

Anyone ever come across that?

Checkbook.ttf is fairly close, if you're thinking about the font used for the in game text.  I don't know if there are any fonts that are exact, but it shouldn't be too difficult to make a set.

Thanks to you both.

Yeah, I had checked DaFont and that was the only one I found too.  Oh well, maybe I'll figure out how to make one on my own. :)

The front end GameEx has a Tron theme that can be used. 

Here is a link to a screenshot:

And here is a link to the various themes.

I believe the creator of GameEx made the Tron theme so you could probably ask him what he used for a font. 

I use that theme on my cabinet and love it.   :applaud:

There's a Tron font in the arcade art library.

Thanks but I seem not to have been very clear.  I am not looking for the Tron movie font.  I am looking for a font that looks like the text displayed in game.

That is the closest match I have seen.  Thank you for the suggestion!

You're welcome. I was just now comparing. I swear it's the same. Ah, I think it is the same font, but doesn't look it unless you make it bold.
