TernVMS20 -
Tern (short for Trans European Road Network) for Variable Message Signs (VMS)- displays employing LED technology to provide variable information according to road- and traffic status. TernVMS20 is made for use of medium sized text, its hight (20 LEDs) relates to the number of Light Emmiting Diodes used (ascender to descender). Accordingly, TernVMS20 allows for three lines of text on a VMS bearing 64 LEDs in height.
All Tern fonts are available in Latin and Greek character set, and are provided in OTF and TTF formats. Install either the .otf or .ttf format. It is not required to install both. Choose the format better suitable for your system.
