I have a large library of inlay panel pictures. I’m sure I did some drawings with text when I did the blank panels. (Just the holes for the lamps) I’ll have a look. If not I’ll match a font to a picture.

Is there an extra vetting process for posts that include links to web sites? I included various links to font searching sites, cleaned-up samples of the DEC fonts from my own scan (online) of a DEC PDP-8/S panel, and specific fonts I found via search tools - that are very close or identical matches to the DEC panel fonts. Should I repost, or just wait till it appears? Guy
