Thank you.
and the rear of the new platinums?

Not quite certain on that one... To be honest, I have a theory that they're custom built for NX?
[On a external LED template (in HELEN), but IRL with white/silver LEDs, instead of the Yellow-y gold?] - Closest I think to this size is 128x17...

It's a part of the Super-X function, but certain numbers/characters differ depending on the software version of HELEN that you are using, so you may not have that version of the "3" on there. Another way of obtaining it is drawing it on yourself and fixing it to the Super-X function.

A prime example of the software differences is shown in the following two links on a pair of Stagecoach MAN Enviro 200s, the most noticeable difference being in the "6"...

39685: https://flic.kr/p/f2c3yw
The version used for 39685 is a more recent one.

Thanks i have version 3.0 +3 quite a recent version. But not the newest version I'm sure. i do wish Hanover would provide the software for private owners of their products

Does anyone know how to have the sign layed out like this and if so how do you do it?

I've always just made the display in Photoshop and then imported it to Helen to get that style.

Does anyone know the font that NX use for their blinds?  Is it available on Helen or is it a custom designed font?

It's a custom font, I've got it, but I'm sad enough to have gone through all my photos and remade each letter dot for dot  ;D

Yes, I had to do that in the end.  Only took 4 hours!
