Typefaces

[Chris Roberts]

Hi all,

This might be a bit of an anal question - however I'm busy making all the graphics for the live streaming stuffs at the moment.  I'm using ffmpeg to generate blanking slides for talks and such - and I need a TTF font to use.  Is there an official font?  I was thinking of using Univers personally, as it *shouldnt* conflict with the logo too much and have been told it'd be a good idea by a designer.

It might benefit from a spelling check - field is misspelt all the way through the document…

I'll be using Swiss and so is gmjhowe who designed the map for the booklet

[gmjhowe]

Its worth noting that swiss, arial and univers are all essentially 'copies' of helvetica. So using any of those fonts should look fine in regards to EMF. I also used swiss on the leaflet.

(I assume my reply is too late now :)

You could also discuss it with Stavros, the guy who made our logo -- he's a typographer. (He even started talking about a custom font for EMF at some point, though I don't think that ever happened.)

Contact is here if you don't have it already:
