It is very encouraging to me that someone has been able to pull this off. I wasn't sure it was even possible.
I just stumbled upon this page:

it might help

None of us here like Lucas or Lucasfilm.
I have death wishes on Lucas and Macullum.
we could all probably get 10s of thousands of dollars!

Perhaps I should wait until I get the OUT discs before I say this, but this project seems to be obsolete (so far the leaked images look great). Since I started the project I have come to realize how screwed up the 2004 discs actually are. So, I don't think that my project will really buy a whole lot.. except maybe a nice tool to cut and join clips.. pretty sure these types of tools already exist. I certainly no longer have any interest in combining the 2004 and 2006 discs.

The partial frame re-encoding would still be cool (to handle those burnt in subtitles), but for those with widescreen TV's, it sounds like they will want to re-encode anamorphic anyways. I was having a lot of fun with it, but I got busy with school, and now at this point I see little to be gained. Project cancelled. Sorry about that! I'm willing to share what I have if someone else wants to keep going with this... I don't plan on going anywhere, this is a fun community.

Well at least you got off to a good start. I'm sure this thread has both inspired others to pick up where you left off, and given them some good ideas of how to go about it.

Also check out this thread for comparisons of similar fonts and the names of a few that are more accurate.

My Projects:

I feel much the same way. Maybe others will want to carry-on though?

This was one of the few sensible de-SE threads... because anyone can do it themselves! And you can't beat DIY.
