Thanks. I tried some typeface detection websites but even they couldn't come up with anything. It looks like the model numbers are in a different typeface?
All simple to draw, or so I thought. I used calipers on the spines and tried to reproduce the letters with Open Office Draw, but it's a terrible tool to play with.
I'll try CAD tools next. Ideally I'd like a tool where I have separate X and Y scaling, so I can compensate for any printing discrepancies.
I can try drawing the letters as an RF trace in Allegro, I have precise control over widths and bends. But the K has a slight curve.
I've always wondered how this was printed back in the day. Some other manuals look like it was hot-stamped into the plastic.
Now that I look closer at the Tektronix manual, it looks like it could be a full size decal. That's what I'm trying, I bought some laser printer decal sheets and going to give it a try.
