Interlac - now even in Wikipedia

Finally I got around creating a Wikipedia entry about Interlac. It is still very much a stub, but hey, go and edit it yourself. That's what Wikipedia is about, anyway!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interlac

But while you are here and reading this, why not try out my original Interlac font (from way long ago in 1994) - they work for Windows, Mac OSX and Linux:

Interlac TrueType solid version:

Interlac TrueType hollow version:

The hollow Interlac font even includes all early 90's Legionnaire symbols

take care, Kashif-

Hey, love your fonts! Just thought I would let you know that your links are to "file" and not "http," so that I had to cut and paste to get them.

Ditto. Your URL for the fonts are parsed incorrectly. They need to start with http://, not "file"

Thanks for the heads up from you two! It should work now.

take care, Kashif

Wow, this is super cool, thanks for putting in all this hard work!
just wondering though, in Chapter 5 of The Lightning Saga (Justice LEague of America #10) in the back, the chapter name is written in interlac and reads "The Villain is the Hero in his Own Story", but Brad Meltzer is using the same symbol for "l" and "h", any idea to explain this, or do you think it was just a mistake?

Cool.

I added a note to the Wiki entry -- The numbering system suffers from a minor stylistic flaw in the potential for confusion between 6/7 and 41/42. While spacing on printouts and such may make such clear, it has the potential for substantial confusion when written by hand ("the paperless office will come about as soon as the paperless toilet") and also when doing any sort of handwriting recognition.

That minor caveat aside, it was always fun reading issues of the LSH with in-jokes for anyone paying attention who'd taken the time to learn it.
