DVL-Digest 575 - Postings: Index Looking for font name wireless lav mic recommendatio XLRs Looking for font name - "Perry" As I understand it, you cannot copyright the 'look' of a font, but only it's name and exact mathematical (post script)description. Hence there are dozens of versions of Helvetica with different names but almost identical looks until you actually try to exactly match. Most popular fonts are in the same position. I often find getting the font family is the easy part, finding the exact weight and width is the tricky part. My previous company used Helvetica as the corporate font, and I collected dozens of different versions so that I always had a suitable style. The company then suddenly changed to Neuzuit (sic?) which AFAIK has only 2 styles but since it looks almost the same as Helvetica it seemed rather pointless to me! Fortunately at about this time I left! I also remember being amazed to find out by accident that the BBC's 'new' logo obtained at vast cost to some agency was in fact a perfectly standard (Gil Sans if I remember) font with perfectly standard spacing.

Or I could get 2 individual systems....< I think you're a little confused Tony. A diversity receiver is to allow a choice between two RF paths for a single transmitter and therefore single mic channel. Contrary to continual chatter to the contrary, you cannot have two separate radio mics going in to a single receiver. RF just doesn't work that way!

Maybe USB or even better Firewire as standard in/out for everything everywhere???< Wow, Robert, and I thought I was a crazy dreamer. Let's obsolete what must by now be billions of devices, including zillions of mikes, in favor of a computer-based interface?< Here, here! XLR connectors are easy to wire up, easy to find (and relatively cheap) and very robust. The only downside is they are a little on the big side but hey, that's why they are easy to wire up!! Anybody who has attempted to wire up one of the Hirose connectors commonly used on Japanese equipment will know where I'm coming from!
