Extended information
This Star Wars font is based on the writing that appears on Darth Vader's chest box.
The text that appears on the chest box in The Empire Strikes Back was different from the text on the Return of the Jedi version. (There was no text on Vader's chestbox in A New Hope.) In addition, several other versions have cropped up over the years, all of which were created or modified after the original movies were made. In all, I've found six different versions of the chest box text. My font allows you to re-create all six of these versions. I'll go through each of these below.

FONT INFORMATION
This Star Wars font is based on the writing that appears
on Darth Vader's chest box. This font includes all English
letters, numbers, and common punctuation marks (basically,
all the stuff displayed on the keyboard). Uppercase and
lowercase letters are identical. Also, kerning has been
enabled for this font.
----------------------------------------------------------
ACCURACY OF THIS FONT
There are several different versions of text that can be
seen on Vader's chest box. The most popular version has
been on display at the Magic of Myth Exhibit. This version
is almost identical to the chest box from Return of the
Jedi. The text is apparently Hebrew, with the middle line
flipped upside-down. The translation for that version is
supposedly, "His deeds will not be forgiven until he
merits".
The actual chest box from Return of the Jedi is slightly
different, but it's apparent that the Magic of Myth
version is supposed to recreate the Return of the Jedi
version.
In addition, there is a version from the Empire Strikes
Back, which has different text. And there are at least
three other versions which are not accurate to either
film. To have a full set of letters, numbers, and other
characters, I used the text from all six versions for
this font.
Since the inscriptions are similar to Hebrew, I've
attempted to map letters according to their Hebrew
values. See sithprophecy_table.jpg for a full table of
Sith Prophecy letters and their respective keys.
