Talk:Highway Gothic

message: I can't find the words "Highway Gothic" anywhere in the MUTCD or any FHWA references.  Are you sure we're not confusing the computer font with the actual standardized typeface?  I have both the Highway Gothic font, as well as a TrueType version of the FHWA Series reference typefaces installed on my computer and they are **not** the same thing.  216.15.91.44 (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 20:08, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  How Do I 

message: The 1966 and 1977 versions of the FHWA Series fonts look significantly different from the current version in certain letters.  Could these differences be mentioned? --  Denelson83  03:27, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Anyone have a cite for this? I've never seen these fonts used around the Vancouver, BC area at all. Federal signs (e.g. Trans Canada Highway markers) don't use them, and nor do the provincial ones. It's quite clear a different font is being used when you pass into the US. Can someone clarify where this info came from?--Ktims (talk) 01:10, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Whoever is going to fix the typo in the pangrams under Samples, would you please redo them using the *actual* FHWA fonts and not the imitation fonts (seen here in the samples for Series C and D), which are "Blue Highway", or "Expressway", or whatever derivative keeps showing up on improperly spec'd highway signs in the U.S.  The imitation fonts have noticeably defective glyphs, principally 'c', 'k', and 's'.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barbicels (talk • contribs) 04:55, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
