I think I am now free to mention that I have been helping to recover the front panel artwork for the EMS VCS3 Mk2. After some initial delays I got a vendor to examine a real panel and what was left of the original artwork scans. The vendor did a very good job but it was not complete.
The font on the panel is a little more condensed and the spacing was a bit different. We did many changes and I ran up a big bill and EMS rejected numerous time and for good reason.
The vendor seem to be stuck on what commercial fonts are available and they are outfoxed unless I can bring them a solution.
Unless I can come up with a font shading / spacing tool solution. I am going to eat a couple thousand dollars in wasted dev time already and we are going to rescan what original artwork we have, graft missing bits and recreate it in illustrator.
Redoing some Letraset, Chartpack is such a problem in the US
If anybody can help or has some ideas I would be open to them.

Time is an issue because I left them hanging on promises for a long time, they like me but my reputation has been sullied, they don't trust me when it comes to delivering anything on time or completing any task.
