> Instead of starting with existing nixies, I've been playing with generating cathode graphics using computer fonts. This one is just a test, I'd probably want to use a lighter typeface for real nixie cathodes:
it is not so easy, the total surface of each digit should be constant to achieve constant current and constant brightness of each digit (else You will have to struggle with resistors on cathodes..). Bigger number = higher current.. And I also like the retro look of original digits ;-) Once I have working tube (as close as possible to original) I can play and change things inside.. Have You made something working with mentioned digit graphics?
