What kind of character generator do you use? What kind is your favorite?
Hey Commodorez! I was searching for a decent priced character generator for a long time, but these things have become quite rare where I live. The only device I was able to purchase around here is the Panasonic VW-VT1 and I had to pay about USD 50.00 for it.However I do not really like the typeface on the VW-VT1 - so I had to compromise: My current solution is to use digital bitmapish typefaces on my modern computer. My favorite of those is a font called ModeSeven made in 1998 by Andrew Bulhak:
âModeSeven is based on the bitmap font in Teletext televisions, 1980s-vintage Videotext terminals (such as the Prestel system used in the UK), and the BBC Micro computer. (The name derives from the BBC Micro screen mode which used the teletext character generator.)â
When searching around for Character Generators, I found the Videonics Titlemaker Series to be very intriguing. Especially the Videonics TM-3000, as it has a very nice looking keyboard.
