FAQ: What font is used by the London Underground (London Transport)

This summer, while on vacation in the UK, I spent a few hours in the London Transport Museum. Surprisingly enough, in their gift shop, two items for sale attracted my attention. One was a book and the other, a collection of fonts!
Every so often, the question comes up on this forum and others as to exactly what font is used in the London Underground. The book in question,
Johnston's Underground Type by Justin Howes definitively answers that question and provides quite a bit of background on the subject.
To summarize, the basis of the font used today is
Johnston Sans, dating back to 1916. Johnston Sans also had an upper case-only bold face. These two faces were used with various modifications until 1988 when the font was modernized with the release of
New Johnston, a family of nine typefaces based upon Johnston Sans. The family includes light, light italic, medium, medium italic, medium condensed, bold, bold italic, bold condensed, and stencil weights / styles. New Johnston Medium most closely resembles the original Johnston Sans face in terms of weight and style.
Neither the original Johnston Sans nor the current New Johnston are licensed by London Transport for any external use.
However, at the London Transport Museum (and I believe on-line from the P22 Type Foundry), you can purchase a license and media for P22's rendition of Johnston Sans including three faces - P22 Underground, P22 Underground Bold (uppercase only), and P22 Underground Extras (symbols associated with London Transport over the years). Included on the CDROM are both Type 1 and TrueType versions of the typefaces in both Windows and Macintosh formats. The designs were officially licensed from London Transport. The EULA (End User License Agreement) carries some
very strict restrictions with regards to embedding in PDF or any other file type as well as commercial use of any printed output formatted with these typefaces.
A fairly close (and less restrictively-licensed alternative) to the P22 package or for Johnston Sans and New Johnston (neither of which are available for license) is ITC Johnston, available in Type 1 and TrueType versions in both Windows and Macintosh formats. Fifteen individual typefaces are available including old style figures and small caps, italic styles, as well as light, medium, and bold weights. Alas, they are not (yet) available in OpenType format.
In any case, further information and background is available in
Johnston's Underground Type by Justin Howes.

I was. I have to say as much as there is a lot of negativity towards Larry Jordan, I really respect him for not shying away from adversity and talking about the issues quite Frankly. I mean, his talk was laced with quite a lot of rhetoric ("it's not the end of the world", etc etc), but he didn't decline to answer any questions (including my own: "what were they thinking").

Having spent the past three days on this forum, I think that list only covers about half of the gripes people have and the problems people are facing!
These are just the things I remember off the top of my head. Sadly I didn't make any notes, in all honesty because I was expecting the whole thing to be a whitewash. Remind me of anything I've left out and I'll try to cover it.
I'll try to transcribe the recording today as it was the only thing that's come close to an official word on the situation from Apple, though I have to say the recording is not particularly good :/

Is there a way to see what font was used originally, after the type has been converted to outlines?

Hi all, I would really like to know if there is any way to find out what font was used originally in an Illustrator document, after the type has been converted to outlines? The reason for this is I need to update some wording in a couple of old logos I had made and I have NO idea what font I had used...for the life of me I just cannot remember. Because this was so urgent for one of my projects I had to do a search online via "WhatTheFont" to see what font it could be (which I then didn't seem to have in my library!), and repurchase it. I am 99% sure I HAVE the font - or something VERY close - but under a different name.
Normally I keep a much better record of fonts used but there have been times occasionally in the past when I have done something in a hurry and changed the type to outlines without keeping the original, or keeping detailed notes at least. The fact that I did NOT keep notes on a few projects I have done in the past has made me want to kick myself because now I need to revisit one of those again..grrr:)
Can anyone offer any advice? I appreciate your help as always:)
best,
Christine

What font is used in the Indesign panels?

While sorting out my fonts I have accidently disabled the font that displays in the indesign panels. Can someone tell me what font is used? I did quite a few fonts at once so have no idea what it is (and checking illustrator and photoshop they don't seem to have been affected). Here is a pic to show what I mean. Thanks.

I believe it's Tahoma, or Lucida Grande....

Don't take my word for it. I haven't checked specifically. But I'm
presuming that the font is the same as the font used in dialog boxes
created with scripting, and those are the fonts I mentioned. I just
started a thread about this a few days ago in the scripting forum called
"ScriptUI default font on a mac"

What font is used in the Lion sidebar

Hello there...
Does anyone know what font is used in the Lion Sidebar?
You can see it all over the OS for example, it's also used in Mail to show all the folders and Mailboxes...
I know how to adjust the size, I just want to know the name of the Font.
My guesses are Calibri or Lucida Grande but I'm not sure.
Thank you

Hello David,
Unfortunately it is definately not Helvetica. You can see differences in the letter shapes. It's particularly noticable in "e" and "a" characters...
Pasting into TextEdit will simply inherit the font used in the document, which for a new TexEdit file is Helvetica Regular.
Anyone else have any thoughts?

What Font is used as the default LabView System and Dialog Font on a windows?

What font is used as the default LabView System and Dialog font on a Windows system?
Can I use the default system and dialog font in another software (i.e; Win word or Illustrator etc.)

For Windows XP, the font is Tahoma. I don't know if Windows has a method for changing this (I thought it would be in the display settings, but couldn't find it). Maybe in the registry?
For more details, see here.

HT4208 What criteria is used by Apple to determine the "Top Apps"?

What criteria is used by Apple to determine the "Top Apps" in the App Store?

Apple does not publicly state how any of those rankings are determined, probably to try to keep app developers from gaming the system and artificially inflating their rankings.

What font is used for Layer palette PS CS1 Mac?

I have a render issue with Photoshop CS (8.0).
The font used to show the layer and action names is wrong (see below)
Does anybody know what font should be applied to this text? Then I can check if that font is installed correctly.
For now it seems that all fonts that should be in OSX 10.6 are present.
The problems started when I removed HelveticaNeue.dfont and installed the complete Helvetica Neue Open Type set (all 40+ weights instead of the cripled Apple set).

This was a very helpful clue. Its not actually Trajan but Shàngó. I tracked down a font designer who clarified it. But you email was instrumental in the search. Thanks very much!

HT6160 What ports are used for Apple Configurator to function with IPads?

Need to know what ports need to be allowed for Apple Configurator to function.

Apple Configurator runs locally on an OS X computer. It requires a USB connection. So no ports required for connecting Configurator to iPads.
However, there are some ports that need to be opened for iPads to work with Apple's server if you are behind a firewall. Here is a list of known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6175?viewlocale=en_US
To use iPads behind a firewall (Configurator or not), you'll want to definitely open 5223 for Apple Push Notification and the standard ports for HTTP/HTTPS (80 and 443). If you're using an MDM, you will likely need to open 2195 and 2196 as well. If you still have issues port watch and see what an iPad does when trying to get to the store.
Hope this answers your question!

Finding out what font you used

Hi there. Is there any way in LiveType to find out what font you have used? In FCP it's just to double click a clip on the timeline (which is text), and go to the controls tab to find out, but it seems to be a little more complicated in LiveType..

Never mind - I found out. It says after "Info:" on the Text tab in LiveType.
