Title: Weatherstar XL Fonts
Post by: wstarcraze on September 10, 2008, 04:00:41 PM

What Kind of font did the WeatherSTAR XL Use

It uses Akzidenz Grotesk and Helevtica Neue Condensed, both which are (very expensive) commercial fonts. Therefore, it would be illegal to give them out to someone. I've been trying to find them myself but have had no luck. :no:

If you had a Mac, Helvetica comes standard (since the early 90's). :yes:

The folks at Microsoft thought you'd like the Arial fonts better.  :happy:

Yes but neither operating system comes with them.  :no:

Its not gone, only hidden.  :biggrin:

Post by: Mike M on September 14, 2008, 10:05:36 AM

Why is it hidden? :unsure:

Title: Re: Weatherstar XL Fonts
Post by: lfmusiclover on September 14, 2008, 10:15:28 AM

Because a situation came up and I was asked to hide it.

I would appreciate it if you guys would not ask questions.

Could someone send me the basemap files? I have yet to get a chance to download everything in that topic.

Title: Re: Weatherstar XL Fonts
Post by: Zach on September 14, 2008, 10:22:40 AM

I didn't even know there were Helvetica Fonts in that topic. :foolish:

Could I have them too so I don't have to use Coolvetica?

I looked, after it was mentioned, and I didn't see them posted in there. :dunno:

They were posted in there, as part as a zip file.
