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) game Babylon 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 Without End 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 4-25-98
Mike 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 posters with 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 4-1-97
Update 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 the font. 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 no substitutes!
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) game Babylon 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.

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 6-23-98
5) 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. The entire 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.

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 for this 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 to them 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.

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.
