Can you recall what the fonts used for the Stargrunt II and Dirtside II
Chapter headers and record cards were called and their availability or were
they the proprietary work of your typesetters as in Full Thrust.
I have a large collection of SF fonts but I've never seen anything close to
the Stargrunt II font.
Also what is the out of focus background image on the front and back of
Stargrunt II, you know the blue/grey blurred raster background, this is
pure curiosity but I just can't make out what it is (i think its the same
image on the front and back)?

I checked with the typesetters, and though the title/logo fonts (on the
book covers) are highly modified, those used as the chapter headings are
straight, standard faces: the Dirtside one is STENCIL, and the Stargrunt one
GRAVICON DISPLAY.

AFAIK, the image was a stock photo of an arctic scene or glacier, turned
negative, thorougly messed around with and recoloured in Photoshop and then
deliberately given a very pixellated effect - I think it worked quite
well!

Thankyou for taking the time, much appreciated.

Yes! - it makes an interesting and enimatic
background, the SG2 cover has some of the nicest graphical design so far on
your products. Very good use of contrasting colours, I really like the lime
green line drawings!
