I don't understand the sentence "Mandatory standards ... required ... lettering to be of a different typeface."
Different from what? Do the standard actually mandate that the typeface be *different* than something? Or does the standard actually mandate some particular typeface, which may be -- but is not necessarily -- different from the previous typeface? -- 68.0.124.33 ( talk) 03:45, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
Are you sure your using the term correctly; this doesn't seem to be a frontispiece (compare) at all? —Preceding unsigned comment added by BeckenhamBear ( talk • contribs) 10:18, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
Just wondering if reference to the signpost in M*A*S*H would be relevant in this article? There is a public domain photo of it on the show's article. → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 00:16, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
It would be cool to have a photo showing a fingerpost with actual fingers, like [1], though I haven't yet found such a pic with a suitable license.
These posts are also seen outside the British Isles; we have them in the U.S. though they are often decorative or whimsical. -- Beland ( talk) 17:05, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

"Fingerpost-like signage" ?!? If there's going to be a distinction between signposts and fingerposts, then the definition of fingerpost should be kept in mind -- basically the sign should point to some place. If we examine the photo of the signs in the New Albion, New York example, we cannot see any fingers, or hands, or even arms clearly pointing to the specified place. I had to dive into Google Maps to determine that some of those signs may in fact be examples of fingerposts. The yellow signs are not; they designate county roads that they are on (which is why they point in two directions at once). The top sign for "LEON" is not; it is another name for County Road 6 which it is sitting on. The other three signs on that post may in fact be examples of fingerposts. The sign that looks like "TTARAU US" is supposed to say "CATTARAUGUS" and may be pointing to the left which is where the village of Cattaraugus is. The other two signs are hard to read because of the angle, but apparently for the villages of South Dayton and Little Valley. So out of all the signs in the picture that we see, only three actually may as fingerposts, and none of them clearly point to where they're supposed to because of deterioration or the bad angle of the signs. Since there are plenty of other entries in the Gallery, I removed this poor example.
