A note from Mike:

Enclosed in these zip files are some fonts I made from Babylon 5®. I have been taping the show forabout 2 years now. I have been using these tapes to build fonts for the following:

Vorlon: (All are canon)

Minbari: (All are canon)

Minbari type II: (All are canon)

Shadow: ( up to the letter O)

Narn: (All are canon)

Pak'ma'ra: ( None, I "invented" them all)

The Great Machine of Epsilon 3: ( A thru T are canon)

Centauri: (All are canon)

Babylon 5 wingdings: (# A-Z,a-l are wingdings)

Markab: (A thru Z & 1 thru 5 are canon)

Brakiri: (A thru I are canon B5 characters)

Gaim: (None, Josh Dixon "invented" all)

Drazi: (A thru Y -omit Q- canon)

Hyach: (A thru H canon)

Abbai: (All are canon, race uncertain)

Llort: (All are canon, race uncertain)

Anti-Life Runes: (A-H are canon)

B5 Station Human: (human is all canon)

Life Machine: (All are canon)

Tak'Cha: (A-O are canon)

As shown above the font characters that are from the show go up to those letters. (canon = seen on the

show.) I have taken liberty with the rest of the font letters & numbers (Pak'ma'ra is my own invention).But then people have made up Gorn & Tholian fonts. To date I have not seen any Pak'ma'ra characters

on the show. At present I'm working on THE GREAT MACHINE OF EPSILON 3 font. [note: this font was

completed by 4-23-97.]

I will update these fonts from the show or other sources when I find them.Michael H. Lee 3-30-97

All font collections come in Windows'® Truetype® format. These fonts are 'Charity-ware'. (Meaning: if you like the fonts and plan to use them, please

give a little more than usual to your favorite charities such as the Salvation Army or others the next time you have a chance.)Michael H. Lee 4-7-97

All of the fonts have been updated 6-4-97, someone complained about the spacing between lines in two of the fonts. So I fixed them all.Michael H. Lee 6-4-97

Mike's thanks for assisting with source info, testing and development go to: Josh Dixon/ for pre-partnership helps & A special thanks to all the B5 UK

fans for the help with the B5 updates.

the Vorlon B5 Warner bros.® font. This font is based on the lettering used in the Babylon Five® tv show. The original version of the font was based

only on bits and pieces from various episodes.Updated 4-23-97. Update 4-7-98 - New version:

The code for the Vorlon comes from the season 4 trading cards (USA). So far the code works for the (UK) Babylon 5 Magazine & the (USA) gameBabylon 5 wars and (USA) Official B5 Calendar (1998).

1) The font is canon A thru Z.

2) The Numbersign# is the symbol of the Vorlon Empire, the Asterisk* and Exclamation! are symbols seen on their ships.

3) I have no idea which direction Vorlon is written, lets just say left to right for now. 4) No Earth numbers had been converted into Vorlon from the cards, so I added them using Vorlon characters (the letters) as a base for the design. I will

add the numbers into the font when and if I receive them.

Michael Lee 4-10-98

Update 2-10-00: added two new symbols (period and question mark) and added the lower case r.

the Minbari B5 Warner bros.® font. This font is based on the lettering used in the Babylon Five® tv show. (A thru Z & 0 thru 6 canon). Minbari has

been seen written left to right and Up/down (As in the Episode "Divided Loyalties"). Most of the text in this font comes from the episodes: "War WithoutEnd part I" & "Matters of Honor". An update on this font is in the works. New info. from two older episodes "There All Honor Lies" & "Atonement" [and

the newer cable shows] will be added. All of the Minbari comes from Josh Dixon.

Updated & reordered 4-25-98Mike added some new characters from info received from the official Babylon 5 fan newsletter (USA). This font has been seen in the show ( first two

seasons ) though not as much now as the Minbari II font is. The whole font is now canon.

Mike Lee 4-25-98

Minbari II B5 Warner bros.® font. The code for the Minbari II comes from the season 4 trading cards (USA). So far the code works for the (UK)

Babylon 5 Magazine & the (USA)game Babylon 5 wars. Most languages have a Script & Print version, these are Minbari's.1) The whole font is canon.

2) This Minbari II font is seen more on the show than the other Minbari font.

3) Minbari II has been seen written left to right and up and down.4) No Earth numbers had been converted into Minbari II from the cards, so I added them from the other characters (the letters). Like the Romans did for

their numbers ( I, V, X, M .....). I will add numbers into the font when and if I receive them.

Michael Lee 4-3-98

the Shadow B5 Warner bros.® font. This font is based on the lettering used in the Babylon Five® tv show. ( up to the letter O). Shadow: The font text

comes from the obelisk on Z'ha'dum. In the episode " Z'HA'DUM " glowing runes are carved on these obelisks.

the Narn B5 Warner bros.® font. : The book of G'Quan does contain some of my Narn chartacters. But it also contains some other chartacters I have

not seen elsewhere on the show. I'm putting those other letters in the book of G'Quan down as Narn letters but decorated.

For the most part my font matches the rest of B5. In the customs area pic (download it at the official Warner bros.® B5 web site) there are Narn posterswith Narn letters. When the Narns were looking at battle plans on a screen in G'kars quarters and in the restroom these fonts are used. There is also an

episode in which G'kar is writing (right to left) using the Narn chartacters in my font.

Michael H Lee 4-1-97Update 4-23-97 Narn: Found a new letter in the episode "Atonement" and added it to the font. letter size fixed. 4-23-97

Update 10-30-97 reordered.

Update 3-15-98 More code found on: trading cards(USA), the Babylon 5 magazine(UK) & game Babylon 5 Wars(USA).1) The Narn update has three new characters. ( F, G, N )

2) The Narn (code) does not have a "K" , when a "K" is in the text the "K" is dropped.

3) In the Narn (code) the letters "X" & "Z" are the same.4) I could not find a letter "Q" to compare with the Narn, so I added one from the known letters.

5) No Earth numbers had been converted into narn, so I added them from the other characters seen on the show.

6) The whole font should be canon.

Michael Lee 3-15-98

the Pak' ma' ra B5 Warner bros.® font. This font is a total invention and has not been used on the Babylon Five® tv show.

The Great Machine Epsilon 3 B5 Warner bros.® font. The Great Machine of Epsilon 3:( A thru T are canon) Mike took liberty with the rest of thefont. The letters come from the writing on the front part of the machine that Draal is standing in and attached to. The episodes showing this font are "The

Long, Twilight Struggle" and "Voices of Authority".

Mike's Centauri B5 Warner bros.® font. Centauri is written left to right. Londo's head moves that way as he reads on the show.

There is another Centauri font going around that is mostly invented, Mike has tried to make his Centauri as canon as possible. Accept nosubstitutes!

Updated 10-30-97 - Updated & reordered 3-22-98 - updated 7-6-98 New Version.

The code for the Centauri comes from the season 4 trading cards (USA). So far the code works for the (UK) Babylon 5 Magazine & the (USA) gameBabylon 5 wars.

1) Centauri update has some fixes (B,G,Z )

2) The Centauri (code) does not have a (Q,X,Y), when these letters are used in the text they are dropped, always. It was just pointed out to me that once

in the the (UK) B5 Magazine they used a "C" for a "K" in the word "KOSH". So I'm using a "C" for the letter "K" too. 3) No Earth numbers had been converted into Centauri, so I added them from the other characters seen on the show. There was a bomb that had

numbers scrolling before it went off. So I used these, and picked them out the best I could.

4) Add Centauri symbol to font.Michael Lee 7-6-98

Mike's Wingding B5 Warner bros.® font: Just symbols & iconic stuff.

I'm still working on the B5 Symbols when I can. I plan on adding more in the future, maybe: a Centauri Ship (I may be starting it soon) These symbols were created by Michael Lee:

These symbols were created by Keith Nelson (He did an excellent job, many thanks Keith!!!):Y=Maintenance patch Z=Babylon 4 Symbol a=Earth Force patch b=Earth Force medical patch c=Earth Force Security patch g=Earth Alliance j=Ranger

symbol t = welder's mask over EA silhouette u = Starfury canopy over EA silhouette v = Pilot's "Wings"

Michael Lee, with Keith Nelson, updated 6-15-00

Mike's Markab B5 Warner bros.® font: Markab (A thru Z, 1 - 5 are Canon)Here is the Markab Font, some new letters may be added soon (in a month or two). Josh & Mike believe some letters in the restroom are Markab. Mike

has 21 Markab characters with background info from "Confessions and Lamentations" and "Soul Mates".

Updated 7-20-97 with more characters (canon W - Z, # 1 - 5) that are possibly Markab.

Mike's Brakiri B5 Warner bros.® font: Brakiri (A thru I are Canon)

Here is the Brakiri Font, the "A" is certainly Brakiri, "B" thru "I" are possibly Brakiri but are certainly from the show. The rest of the font is invented to fill it

in. 7-20-97.

Josh Dixon's Gaim invented B5 Warner bros.® font: This font is a total invention and has not been used on the Babylon Five® tv show. The

observations that helped design the font are known as the "Xenolinguistic Reconstruction Theorem". invented by Josh Dixon, fonted by Mike H. Lee.

10-30-97.

Mike & Josh's Drazi B5 Warner bros.® font: Drazi (A thru Y -omit Q- are Canon, 1-9&0 invented)

Enclosed is a Drazi font update. The code for the Drazi comes from (UK) Babylon 5 Magazine. 1) The code works for the following letters: A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,L,M,N,O,P,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y

2) The letter "K" is canon but I do not know where to put it in the code.

3) I have no letters for "Q" & "Z", though the symbol I used for "K" could be either "K", "Q" or "Z"

4) No numbers have been seen, so I added them using other characters and making from other characters.

Drazi is read Left to Right (like English).

Mike Lee 6-23-985) Minor update of the letters C,J,P. 7-13-98

Mike & Josh's Hyach B5 Warner bros.® font: This Hyach font comes from the season 5 episode "Secrets of the Soul". I picked out what I could, only 8

letters are canon (A thru H). The Hyach link their letters together like a chain.

Michael Lee 5-17-98

Fonted by Mike H. Lee.

Mike & Josh's Abbai B5 Warner bros.® font: This font comes mostly from the Babylon 5 Magazine. I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS FONT IN

CONNECTION WITH ANY RACE. So I'm guessing as to who this font belongs, but I will change the name of it if and when it is made known to me. Theentire font is canon, and the only letters not in the font are: G,J,K,Q,U,Z . There are more letters for this font type but this is all I could pick out.

Michael Lee 9-20-98

Fonted by Mike H. Lee.

Mike & Josh's Llort B5 Warner bros.® font: This font comes mostly from the Babylon 5 Magazine, though it has been seen on the show. I HAVE NOT

SEEN THIS FONT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY RACE. So I'm guessing as to who this font belongs, but I will change the name of it if and when it is

made known to me. The entire font is canon, and the only letters in it are as follow: A,B,C,D,E,G,I,L,M,N,O,P,R,S,T,U,V,W. There are more letters forthis font type but this is all I could pick out. More letters will be added to the font when I find them.

Fonted by Mike H. Lee.

Mike & Josh's Anti-Life Runes B5 Warner bros.® font: This Anti-Life Runes font comes from the Babylon 5 movie Thirdspace. We have only a few

letters that are canon ( A thru H ); these letters are seen on the walls of one of the buildings, when Ivanova waves her hand over them in the dream caused

by these beings; the rest of the font was created by Michael Lee & Josh Dixon. We are not told the name of these creatures, but the Vorlons referred tothem as "Anti-Life" - out to destroy all life that is not their own. Furthermore, the Anti-Life creatures believe that only they have the right to exist in the

universe, and that all other life forms are inferior and must be exterminated. Anti-Life is written up and down.

Fonted by Mike H. Lee

Mike & Josh's Station Human B5 Warner bros.® font: Here is Babylon 5 Station font, this is the type used (for Human English) on the Babylon 5

Station. Mike asked Josh what he thought about putting is up seeing it is not an Alien font. He thinks we should as: "the font is an integral part of the B5

universe, because almost all signage in the EA uses it alone or in conjunction with Serpentine Bold."

The font was created by Michael Lee & Josh Dixon.

Mike's Life Machine B5 Warner bros.® font: This B5 Life Machine font comes from the life energy transfer machine first seen in the episode "The

Quality of Mercy". All the letters are canon.

Michael Lee 1-30-99

Mike's Tak'Cha B5 Warner bros.® font: This B5 Tak'Cha font comes from the 3-issue miniseries "Babylon 5: In Valen's Name", March through May

1998, from DC comics. The info for this font comes from Michael Dolan. Only A thru O are canon, the rest of the font was designed and created by

Michael Lee.

The Tak'Cha are a humanoid species of probable Insectoid origins. They have greenish-tan skin stretched over a skeletal frame 6.5 to 7 feet tall,making them resemble desiccated corpses. They possess close-set yellow-green compound eyes above slitted nostrils in a low, wide head; and an

array of mandibles and palps flanking their needle-toothed mouths. they wear green and yellow robes cut in fashion similar to the Minbari as

shipboard uniforms, and skin-tight olive vaccuum-armor for EVA work. They are a fanatical, brutal, nomad warrior race, once ancient

followers of Valen (and the Vorlons).

Michael Lee 7-7-99.

FUTURE PROJECTS: other fonts maybe constructed in the future and will be based on source of the Babylon Five® tv show. More source material is

always appreciated.

You can email MIKE at: MikeHLee@aol.com. Again, more source material is always appreciated.
