I know it has come up before on finding a timing diagram font, and most

I have created a new timing diagram font, for free use (no selling it).

See <http://www.pcserviceselectronics.co.uk/fonts/>

I would be interested in feedback as I find it better for *my* use.

Very nice! I just started work on an interface speck for a
modem today and needed to draw some timing diagrams for SPI and
I2C transfers. I copied the .ttf file into

Having decent group markers for a complex SPI design I had and
good transitions for I2C to pulled up on seperate in and out SDA
for I2C was one of my reasons for doing it.

/usr/lib/openoffice/share/fonts/truetype

That I assume was Linux flavo(u)r of *nix...

and it "just worked".

It even displays and prints properly when the document is
exported from OOo as a PDF file.

The only think I could think of that might be added are
transitions between "group" and low/high.

At this stage it was intended to use

{} (curly brackets/brace) for transition from group to tri-state
[] (square brackets for transition from group to High/Low/Pulled=up

I will have to think how to easily get 4 more transition key mappings
for high/low to or from group with group ending in 'chevrons'.
