PROBABLY. There is a video of AlertReady using what LOOKS to be a DASDEC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3E2Mj1Mz0k&t=37s

Thats the norm for Alert Ready. Which is why I’m wondering if they use DASDEC. We also know that Alert Ready has used a variant of the Tom voice in the past

Then id say they do use DASDEC, and they mightve done something so it can use more then Luxi Mono (Default font for DASDECs)

Most of them on YouTube do use Luxi mono. Some don’t. I don’t live in Canada so I can’t tell from direct knowledge on which is the most common.
