Aug 25, 2007 True Type font that looks like alphanumeric LEDs? For a design project, I need to find a TrueType font that looks like an alphanumeric LED display. You know, the type with several segments radiating out from the center that can display any letter or digit - not just the 7-segment display used for numbers. Failing that, is there a TrueType.
Click to expand.My Texas TTL Data Book (1980) covers the -46 through -49 all without tails.I remember I had an exercise designing the logic also without tails. It wassaid to require less gates but I never checked. I also remember that someyears later someone showed a resistor-diode circuit to add the tails as yet.It was hardly interesting anymore as decoders with tails were commonlyavailable at the time.
It did not take very long and displays with fullyintegrated latch-decoder-driver-leds appeared. I still have some HP5082-73xx and til311 displays. They may be usefull in some one-of-kinddesign. Otherwise multiplexed LED-displays or even complete LCD-displaystake their place.petrus bitbyter.
