PostTue Aug 21, 2007 2:45 am    Borg Translation

I was wondering if the borg symbols (those circular symbols half way down this page: http://fonts.lordkyl.net/fonts.php?category=3) should be arranged in any particular way to represent 'username' and 'password' or if they really have no actual real-life meaning?

on the download page (http://www.getfreefonts.com/fonts/191.html) the creator of this font says:
Quote:
This is the Borg seen on various episodes and the movie First Contact. Borg is written downward, upward, leftward or rightward! There is no translation of the symbols. Do NOT think that a symbol means A just because the key is "A". I only put them in the order that is convienent for me while I am fonting. The numbers ARE numbers, but I do not know which is which. The punctuation is not punctuation, but control console icons which may also have a meaning in the language.

I read that but I thought that was just the creator telling me that they couldn't translate the symbols etc. Thanks.
