7-Segment-Font

Here is my 7 Segment Font as TTF or WOFF-Font.

This is not a complete font for writing! It only contains characters displayable with a 7 segment display. Here is a list of the available characters (indeed all of them, the font does not contain any others, especially not a complete alphabet!):

Character Representation Usage Comment
0..9 0123456789 Ciphers 0..9 That's why they made 7 segment displays. Of course it contains all of the ciphers.
A..F AbCdEF The hexadecimal ex­ten­sion All letters except b and d only in capital letters. A capital 'B' would not be distinguishable from a number 8 and a 'D' would look like a number '0'.
c c The lowercase c
e e The lowercase e It is very disturbing and should not be used as it is as high as a capital. better use the real capital E instead, even if it does not fit!
h h The lowercase h
H H The uppercase H
J J The uppercase J
n n The lowercase n
N N The uppercase N Some hardcore folks take this as an M but well, this is not really intuitive.
o o The lowercase o ... can be easily distinguished from a capital O (the cipher 0). (There is only the cipher, if you want the capital letter, replace it by this.
r r The lowercase r
t t The lowercase t An uppercase T cannot be displayed.
U U The uppercase U
u u The lowercase u can clearly be distinguished from the uppercase U.
Y Y The capital letter Y YE5 or N0 (.. or no)?
µ µ The lowercase 'µ' not really beautiful as its height corresponds to a capital letter but if you have to use it... for µA, for example...
maybe you would simply prefer uA
' ' The apostrophe
" " The quotation mark
= = The equal sign
- - The minus sign (or dash)
_ _ The underscore
] ] The closed square bracket, which could also be a capital "J"! There is no open square bracket! You'll have to use the capital C for it. Also, there are no round brackets. Take square brackets or leave it!
. . The decimal point As a decimal delimiter or for punctuation. It has zero width so you can insert it without adding the space of another digit.
  The Space Even a space (all segments off) has to be displayed in full width.

Especially in this font, there is no capital letter 'Z' which has to be replaced by a number 2 and there is no capital letter 'S' which has to be replaced by the number 5. Of course, I could have copied the numbers to the according position but the users of this font would not want to have doubles in their code. Especially the leak of these characters creates an effort to use already existing for it.

Here it is displayed as a LED font due to the nature of the project but you can change colors to use it as Lcd as well, if you want even for 8LUE LE0. But here you can also see the limits. Do you read BLUE LED or 8LUE LE0? Or 8LUE LEO? You cannot display anything with seven segments. Maybe, bLUE LEd would be better, even it is not so beautiful. At least, it would be clear.
