- 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.
-

- this font on a professional level (i.e., in material that is distributed
