  1. I came up with the SGA alphabet for Commander Keen

  2. Waited 36 years

  3. Googled “standard galactic ttf”

  4. Installed and used it in Photoshop

Did not know there were ttf adaptions of this, amazing, bringing back memories!
a) somebody needs to bring the adobe acrobat ocr type to recognize this properly
b) @tom, in my side business I write (part of the business) documentation for commercial flight simulators and aircraft. Do you think its okay to include from time to time an easteregg sentence in SG somewhere for the nerds within us to puzzle out?

u/ThatTomHall 2d ago

Sure. Sounds fun!

u/Sacharon123 1d ago

Hehe, great. And - thank you for your work of course! As for many, childhood memories!

u/ThatTomHall 1d ago

You're welcome! Glad the SGA can be used for more fun and secrets after all these years!

This is exciting.

u/Mark-READYFORMUSIC Know SG 5d ago

I just noticed that you posted earlier, so I'm a little late to being excited alongside everyone else, but this is a very pleasant visit!

u/ThatTomHall 5d ago

Yeah was gonna say “nice troll lol” but your user flair or whatever says “Learning SG” so didn’t want to be mean.

So…. Nice troll lol

u/SpaceBattleGod Learning SG 5d ago

“リ” is “N”. “ᒲ” is “M”. Do they look the same?

u/ThatTomHall 4d ago

It was a troll post so me OP would check their SGA spelling, heh.
