Can someone identify The Matrix Reloaded Credits Font?

Tuesday, June 24, 2003 by Cafeend | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Hi everyone,

Went and saw reloaded again last night, and thought it would be cool to have all my terminal sessions using the same font as they used in the credits.

Does anyone know the name, where to get it, free copies etc? I'd appreciate the info.

Thanks!


PS - check out the excellent Matrix 3D DirectX 9 screen saver at http://mvr.us/screen_savers/ if you're into that sort of thing. Beats the 2D one from the Matrix web site hands down!

I wish there was a screenshot to look at for reference. If I remember correcty, the font looks a lot like Courier New, which comes installed with Windows.

A link... now why didn't I think of that in the first place!

It's the font that says "RELOAD IN IMAX" at the top of this poster http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/rl_cmp/poster_imax.html

It's also the font they use in the navigation menu at the top of the high bandwidth site http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/rl_cmp/poster_imax.html. When you mouse over the little navigation screens, they use the font in the screen below where it says "FLASH VERSION" to tell you what the link goes to.

Here's hoping that helps! I've googled all over the place, but haven't had any hits yet.

Thanks,
Andy.

It looks like it may be OCR-A BT

IPlural... yeah, I'd already been there. Lots of really nice fonts, couldn't find the one I wanted.

pictoratus... YOU DA MAN!

Thanks for that. I have managed to download and install the font, now I just need to convince Windows to let me use it for PuTTY. Although the TEXT is mono spaced, the FONT FILE doesn't seem to be flagged as a mono spaced one.

Here I go, Googling again!
