CPTBadAss:
Holy **** I got excited. I thought someone was going to convert a Selectric to USB. Didn't realize it was a keycap set :(.

They need to be larger, not smaller. They're not the same font as the original selectrics and not large enough.
This almost gets the alpha's right except for the font:

Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up. I was thinking about it from an aesthetic perspective but it would be nice to retain the design features of the original.

Thanks for your interest, and your passion. ;)
My goal is to have legends that are the same size as nuclear data's. The current rendering may not show that very well. However, I've compared ND against my own seletric and it's not too far off:
There are some obvious typographical differences between the two fonts, but I am limited to the gorton modified that SP already has.
