Title: Where to get Atari font?
Post by: u_rebelscum on June 01, 2003, 07:26:22 am: I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can get the font used in the atari logo used on the side of old school cabs (photo of pole position):
(http://www.urebelscum.speedhost.com/images/atari_font_cab.jpg)
and the 2600 games (photo 2 of dig dug 2600 manual cover): (http://www.urebelscum.speedhost.com/images/atari_font_2600.jpg)

I've looked at a bunch free-fonts sites, but haven't found it there. Also, I read that the Atari Arcade Classics CD has a couple fonts, but I haven't seen any examples of what they look like; could one of them be the font I'm looking for?

Thanks!

I sent them to you via email. :)

Thanks a lot, Frostillicus! Perfect. :)

Also, thanks skirge66 for the link. I should have guessed oscarcontrols.com would have a lot of fonts. (Thanks kelsey.)

Thank you, and may you rot in the depths of burning atari hell...

Lincensed = Licensed and incensed

Was that intentional?
