I've been looking for Star Trek fonts or symbols for LaTeX lately, but unfortunately I couldn't find any. Do any of you know if there is a Star Trek font or character set?

    With LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX you can use almost any font. Can you link to an existing Star Trek font (whatever it is ;-) )? – Rmano Apr 14 '20 at 18:37

    Have you tried googling "star trek font"? – Mico Apr 14 '20 at 18:51
  • @ Mico Yes I did, but I haven't found one to use with LaTeX. – Fab2 Apr 14 '20 at 19:01
  • @ Rmano For example, how about the TNG title on this page: http://www.st-minutiae.com/resources/fonts/index.html How would you include it? – Fab2 Apr 14 '20 at 19:20

startrek is an existing package in LaTeX but I don't know how it works.

In the introducion there is written:

This package provides a means to use some PostScript fonts with LATEX. The fonts are similar to some fonts used in the context of the startrek films. The PostScript fonts are not contained in the distribution but have to be a got separately.

Here there is a file1 .dtx and file2 .sty here there are the fonts (I think) - http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.cs.vu.nl/pub/minix/distfiles/local/3.3.0/:

    @ Sebastiano Molte grazie! I tried to use the fonts this morning but had the famous .sty not found problem. Saluti da Berlino, Fabio. – Fab2 Apr 15 '20 at 11:07
