Author [OT] TeX font of Debian Logo?
Andreas Tille

2005-07-07, 5:58 pm

Hi,

it's surely off topic here but I don't know which is the relevant list ...

Does anybody know whether there is a TeX font which is equal or at least
very similar to the font used in our Logo

http://www.debian.org/logos/ ?

I would need to scale the Debian text and add a "-Med" behind "Debian".

Kind regards

Andreas.

I've never seen a Debian-ish TeX font.

Do you only need the Debian logo in your TeX document? Then a far more
promising plan is to embed the PostScript version of the logo as a picture.

Cheers,

Richard

There are only 10 types of people:
Those who understand binary and those who don't.

No, as I said I want to have the String "Debian-Med" and I need the "M".
I could build the other letters using Gimp, but it would be nice to have
the real font.

Kind regards

Andreas.

Ok, last mail:

searching the lists: the logo was created by Raul M. Silva.
http://www.debian.org/News/1999/19990826

Maybe you could ask him, if he can create a Debian-Med logo for you.
(http://www.silva.com / mailto:raul@silva.com)

I try to put this information on wiki.debian.net, if I manage to learn
howto create a wiki account :-)

It's actuall Poppl Laudatio *Condensed*. See the Berthold site for
more information on the font (referenced in Alfi's mail below).

A ressembling free (as in beer) TTF font can be found here:
<http://www.flyerstarter.com/Free-Fo...Laudatio-C.html>
(although the page seems broken -- if you want the file, mail me)

I can confirm. Also the string "debian" has been horizontally
condensed a little bit more than the original font is, and stretch a
bit vertically.
