Gerber was more recently bought out by an investment group. Letraset, ITC and Monotype were acquired. The result was a bunch of lawsuits and type manufacturers going bankrupt or being acquired. Patent Court ruled in 1989 that one cannot copyright a typeface design because one cannot copyright the western alphabet, they allowed that one can claim a trademark on a typeface name.

They were probably working from film strips which may or may not have been supplied by Compugraphics. Gerber, in the meantime, released a lot of fonts including Helvetica Medium and took a lot of liberties with both font names and design specifics.

This machine used tractor-feed roll vinyl 15" wide. The machine didn't have a computer screen, just a little LCD bar not much different than the readout on a standard vinyl plotter.
You had to load different cartridges to change typefaces. If I recall correctly Helvetica Medium was the default font.
For those not familiar with the Signmaker IV B, the original unit had these pretty expensive font cartridges.
Back in the early 1990s our shop had a Gerber Signmaker IV B.
