Paul, what font is used on the MOTM front panels? Some form of Helvetica...?

Yikes, anybody have a TrueType version of "Alternate Gothic 2"?

As a general answer:

the font is called "Alternate Gothic 2". This is the same as the Moog
modular.
Originally, a company called ChartPAK make rub-on lettering with this font.

I used to buy these, by the sheet, at local college bookstore. About 1 year
ago, I was at an "old fashioned" drafting supply store (pre-AutoCAD) and lo
and behold, there was a small rack of ChartPAK letter sheets.

Corel Draw looks like it ships with it:

   TT0542M_.TTF    Alternate Gothic No.2 BT


Looks like it's downloadable from here:

Nutz! I only have Corel 7 (the boss wont spring for the new one).

It doesn't appear that you can actually download from those sites, can
you...? I don't see it in the "downloads" section.

Yeah... I see that now... I was mislead by the link on that page, but 
pulling it down shows that it's not a real TTF file. Sorry.

Back to looking...


This site:

   http://www.math.utah.edu/~beebe/fonts/fonts-to-vendors-a.html

Indicates that there are MANY flavors of Alternate Gothic #2, and the 
rights to the font come from different folks:

You can surf a bunch of links (about 50 from what I found) just by 
searching on "Alternate Gothic" in AltaVista...
