New Fonts

Where can I find the fonts from the Matrix? They are so cool. I know they are copyrighted. I'm not going to rip it. I would just like to use them.

Kona, some 'specialty' fonts are a limited set... i.e. they go only from a-j etc. in only lowercase or sometimes in only uppercase... I haven't tried the downloads paxx shared but I imagine this is probably the case since it's a fairly typical sitch when you come upon the mysterious squares. So try just typing in the first few letters of the alphabet in lowercase and then in uppercase and see if you get anything.

tried that already. My aim was to change all my windows fonts to the matrix fonts. since the taskbar has lower case letters in the word start and so forth i guess i need a complete dx theme to do what i need.

There is a dx theme centered around the matrix right? Think i'll reinstall dx tonight and play around a bit.

kona0197, try OCR A Extended or OCR A BT. I believe that is the font used in the movie.

I think I got OCR A BT in a skin, but I'm not sure which one. I'll look and see if I can find where it came from.

kona, don't know why they don't work for you, when I tried them before I posted the link they worked fine. But they are indeed upper case only fonts.
