    I believe that you are correct. I just can't quite find which one in that family. Most of them have an incorrect lowercase g. It seems that the lowercase g used in the multiplayer is the same g that is used in the italic forms of Conduit. Is there a similar font to Conduit that has that single difference?

  • The character sets may have alternates for certain letters. Also, there may have been a font revision and the older version is no longer available or alternately the game engine may not have rendered it correctly or rendered it in an adjusted fashion.

  • That would be unfortunate. I like this font because of the lowercase g, among other things. I read a little about the font creator, and he said that when he made Conduit, he specifically changed the lowercase g for the italic form to make it feel like an italic letter. I bet that Bungie must have had some sort of license that allowed them to change the type of the non-italic to match the italic g. Non of the other letters that he changed for italics seem to be affected in the game, though. This is a quote from fonts.com; [quote]“I deliberately broke every optical rule in making the italics and weights,” says van Bronkhorst. “The italic is merely a skewed version of the roman, with no visual adjustment. I did, however, create substitutions for the letters a, f, g, and E to give an ironic ‘italic’ feel to an otherwise obliqued face. The weights are a form of computer-generated swelling – think edema.”[/quote]

  • [quote]I did, however, create substitutions for the letters a, f, [b]g[/b], and E [/quote] I'd imagine then that the alternate g your'e looking for exists as part of the full set.
