I've seen some pretty good looking front panels being made by stuffing adhesive transparencies into a laser printer. You can use your favourite CAD or drafting program to get the texts at exactly right places. If the front panel is susceptible to wear, add another blank sheet on the top to protect the printing. Be sure to get the type of transparencies that will not melt in the printer (photocopy resistant); at least Xerox makes them, probably 3M too. The front panels will look very professional (until someone scrapes them, that is). Of course this will not work for dark-coloured panels. -- Segmented Memory Helps Structure Software
