Typefaces/Fonts used in Fallout manuals

[Sduibek]

I'm probably the only one that cares, but I've been going through the manuals, and I've found that in addition to the standard "Fallout font" (Gothic 821 Condensed BT) there's many other font families in use -- in the case of Fallout 1, for example, coming to a total of almost 30 fonts.

Interestingly, the fonts differ a bit depending on which version of the manual you have (i.e. if it came from a different install source or localization)

Also very interesting to note, is that the Fallout 2 manual doesn't even use Gothic821, the recognized "Fallout font", at all.

Perhaps we two are the only ones who care. You posted this in 2013, but I wish you're still here. Please answer - what's the font on the front page, that is used for VDSG VTB-001-13 below "RESTRICTED"? Also if you understand what VTB abbreviation means - let me know.

I'm pretty sure VTB stands for Vault-Tec Book, though I could be mistaken.
