Boring Techie Questions

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

I hope this is in the right part of the forum folks (sorry if it isn't)

The typeface on the Silver Bullet Tour T Shirts is a bit like Caslon Antique but some characters, like the "R" are different. Has anyone had a go at making a font set with that particular typeface? If so, I'd like a copy of it to make some covers for my recording plus my downloaded ones.

I recorded the Manchester 2006 show onto minidiscs, which some people asked me about a while ago. The bulk of the show was on the first disc , changing over at the interval. Whilst I waited until the "TOC EDIT" message ended before removing the disc, I've ended up with nothing, just before I pressed stop there was around an hour of audio recorded (second disc, although not great quality) was okay. Anyone know if the recording can be saved as a few people were interested in it - and I obvioulsy want to hear it!

Thanks folks!

re. the new typeface:

R is just an L rotated 180 degrees

W and M can be reproduced by a collection of Ls, flipped about and rotated and overlaid on top of each other

as far as i can recall all the other characters are standard caslon antique

I seem to recall James Blast discussing this for one of his designs recently.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Check out this thread. There is another link about halfway down the first page for additional details from the 2005 tour which may be useful.
