You're certainly welcome! I plan to use this font for an upcoming project I'm working on - a Web site that we can use as a community to make our own channel lineups and listings, and use those as they would be sent into the guide via the satellite data stream.

We should probably collaborate on that - I've been working on a similar system (and it's almost done). It'd be silly to duplicate efforts, and I'd be happy to work together. I had been planning on releasing mine by now, but because I'm a bit busy this month, I haven't been able to finish it off. That said, what I have so far works really well. The problem with my project is that it currently only gets real TV listings, and I don't have a way yet to allow you to insert your own listings, which is why I think our projects would complement each other.

I think that would be a great idea. I even have a name already - "UVData", and the corresponding domain, http://uvdata.info (note, there's only that page there - the real development is happening on my test box).

Let's definitely touch base at some point and merge our individual developments. :)

Well, I was thinking I would run it off the PrevueGuide.com domain. Go to http://prevueguide.com/server/ and use the password 'password' to see my frontend so far (don't mess with the settings too much, they are actually controlling my EPG - just put back things like IP and port when you're done, and don't change the password)

Sounds alright to me. One less domain for me to worry about.

how do we view the out put.

also any edits to ads don't seem to save.

Well, you can't view the output yet, since I haven't released the clients, since they're not done. Also, I don't know what you mean exactly, since ad edits save for me just fine.

Hey Rudy, did you ever do the H26f? I have a sudden need for it! :)

<edit> Hmmm, I searched the forum, cos I am sure I had it at some point, and also I see swest77 also used it, and posted some images of notepad using it, but I can't find it :( someone help? :mrgreen:

I think there is a Windows bitmap font for it floating around somewhere, but not a TTF like PrevueC. I'll let you know if I find it.

EDIT: Did a quick search on my Mac, and came up with this. Not sure if it's what you're looking for, and I don't know where it came from (but it's probably from Rudy): http://cl.ly/3Z0f3u2N1m0V2Y1a0e3D
