Good news!
Both Prevue Fonts (PrevueC and H26f) are now available in TrueType format! I have renamed them Prevue List (formerly FinalH26f) and Prevue Grid (formerly PrevueC) so that the bitmap versions do not conflict.
You can download both fonts in an easy-to-use Zip file
here.
Here are a couple of examples to show the fonts in action:

Nice! Will the logo font also be converted into a TrueType?

The logo font can not be converted to a TrueType font because some of the logos are over 20 years old and there are no EPS/vector images for them.
Also, the font has unusual spacing that is difficult to duplicate in TrueType.
You may want to try
CableDingbats instead.

This is awesome! The fonts are looking sharp
Interesting that there was a "font" for all of those 1990 TV logos. I think it'd be cool to pick a few and use them as logo overlays in VLC player when playing videos...

I moved a bunch of stuff off Dropbox, and this was part of it. I have since restored it; sorry for the inconvenience!
