Channels
CHANNELS is a specialized font, useful for anyone involved in printing TV listings on a regular basis. In addition to containing a very readable condensed font, it includes symbols similar to those you would find on most TV-listings pages in your daily newspaper. I had to rearrange a few keys to accommodate the cable listings the ampersand (&), exclamation mark (!), bullet () and dollar sign ($) characters. I hope this doesnt cause any severe problems. I tried to include most popular cable stations, including the new SciFi and Cartoon Networks. If I have omitted any important stations, my apologies. Please drop me E-Mail and I will try to include them in a possible future update.
