It was a simple matter of courtesy - something apparently lost on you.

I would also like to believe I'm not reading any sarcasm in your 'credit', though I have been known to be a sensitive soul.

Excellent new mini-site.

Could I suggest some old regions fonts like Rediffusion, TVS and so on?

Keep it up!!

Martin, if you want to re-send the pdf with all the logos - Sky, ITV, C4, BBC etc again (I lost mine), I can make more fonts with it.

All the fonts bar the Sky Fonts will be replaced in later tonight, with a new set of fonts.

If anyone can send me lists of the main channels from various other countries, I will try to make a font with them.

edward, email me or Msg me through MSN/AOL/Yahoo so we can talk, but suffice to say, I can handle making the fonts myself now.

The new fonts are online, if anyone has problems with these, do let me know, and if anyone with more experience of font development spots ways I can improve the fonts, could you also get in touch.

and to Andrew Wood, I have re-drawn the symbols I included from your font before, hope you feel better now...

Many new logos have been added to these fonts, and logos moved around between them. Also I have fixed some of the logos which didnt show up properly before.

The Sky Font is used for all the Sky channel logos, but the text used on the graphics on SKYnews is called Frutiger...

Whatever...

I just wonder, though, how you would feel if someone took your work, eg the Sky font, jazzed it up and added bits and then passed it off as their own without any acknowledgement to you? Probably quite aggrieved.

Anyway, it appears somewhat academic now. All the best to you.

Exactly what did happen before, but I did ask when i launched TVfonts if you wanted credit, you said its ok, and I did say it was based on your font, and included some of the glyphs you drew.

But as I have re-worked all the glyphs its not important, I had hoped though you would of made your intentions clear when we first talked about the fonts, to save this bitterness from your part now.
