A long shot. Does anyone know if the font/typeface that Casio used for the keys on their calculators back in the days is available as TrueType or SVG anywhere? I am weirdly fascinated by it and would love to use it for some displays.

UPDATE: It's most likely Eurostile, which derives from Microgramma.

The Casio fx-115d calculator. The keys use a nice, cornered font.

@driusan You can even combine the two!

"Investors see hope in rich people's yacht money despite cocaine fears igniting a turbulent week for markets"

"Cocaine wasn't the biggest engine of rich people's yacht money growth in 2025, despite assumptions"

"The cost of cocaine slop could cause a rethink that reshapes rich people's yacht money"

"Cocaine is transforming rich people's yacht money -- not destroying it"

"Cocaine spending frenzy could reshape rich people's yacht money, CIOs say"

Everything written by AI boosters tracks much more clearly if you simply replace "AI" with "cocaine".

I shall demonstrate!

(Not linking to OP, because it's trash.)

"Let’s pretend you’re the only person at your company using cocaine.

You decide you’re going to impress your employer, and work for 8 hours a day at 10x productivity. You knock it out of the park and make everyone else look terrible by comparison. [...]

In this scenario, you capture 100% of the value from your adopting cocaine."

Yet another GitHub failure of something that used to work: line numbers.
