Yes, I see that I misunderstood your comment about f-16. As I started to work for a 'all-in-one FG-Font' I had the HUD in mind and also signage because the original and OFL-Allerta is exactly for this purpose (there are some equal requirements for fonts in a display and for signage I think). Now the real standard numbers like yours(?) in the sign textures are miles better then anywhere and this standard is also used in some real HUDs. I think now it is better to separate all this things and not to work for a 'all-in-one'.
