Its not illegal Gil. I urge you to put the topic back.

And for future reference ASK ME before you do anything.
I'm pretty sure it is. i mean, its an actually patented/copyrighted font. it DOES cost money,
Yep, It's a commercial font; you have to pay money for it. It's like posting commercial software or full-length clips of songs.

Helvetica Neue Condensed is used in the ad crawl, the 36 hour forecast pages, and the temperatures on the regional maps.  The remainder of the fonts are various weights of Akzidenz Grotesk and, in the case of the v3 titlebars, Interstate.  All are commercial.  Akzidenz Grotesk is particularly expensive.

I can buy Helvetica Neue Condensed easily. But does anyone know the cheapest place to buy individual Akzidenz Grotesk fonts? If I can sample them, I can pick out the ones that I need.

From what I've seen, font prices really don't vary much from place to place. :no:

You're making a WeatherStra XL emulator? That's cool! I wish I knew how to make one.

I'm making the graphics with Photoshop. I'll be putting everything together in Adobe Premiere Elements (it's the only fancy program I have at my disposal).

I have been at my computer all afternoon trying to figure out which font goes where. Here is a guess. Please correct me if I'm wrong:
Halvetica Neueu Condensed - regional temps, 36 hour forecast, ad crawl Where I may buy the font
Akzidenz Grotesk Light SC & OSF - LDL, Left section of CC screen
Akzidenz Grotesk Medium - Cities on latest observation screen, cities on metro map???, cities on radar
Akzidenz Grotesk Super - location name on CC screen, daypart forecast, 36 hpur forecast, 7-day forecast, and extended forecast
Blue Highway Linocut - Titlebar
