Author Topic:   Alpha Centauri Font?

Y'know, it would be really great, especially for fansites, if someone (Firaxis? ^_^) could make up and put out a truetype font based on the logo, or better yet, the actual font used in the game. (There _has_ to be one.. All that text in the menus, status bars, diplomacy windows..)
So, Firaxis guys or anyone with actual spare time on their hands, how about it? ^_^

Perhaps the font is not "free" ... in that case, it would also be very helpful to know where it could be purchased. There are many collections of fonts available for purchase, so hopefully Firaxis can tell us the name of the font and if it is available commercially anyplace (if it is not a free download).

Actually, no, I'm not the guy who did the music.. Didn't someone at FIRAXIS do it?
I just couldn't stand not being able to hear the Trailer music since I sometimes have to use computers without speedy enough connections... So I used AVIEdit to save the soundtrack seperately, editted it (noise reduction, silence) and converted it to MPEG format.. (Fits neatly on a floppy disk)
Thanks for the comments. ^_^
I just hope the nice people at FIRAXIS don't get mad and make me remove it... You guys wouldn't do that.... right? ^_^
