Do you mean this one (the numbers on the door)?

I ran it through "What The Font" on Myfonts.com and it didn't find a definitive match. My guess is it probably is a custom font designed for the film. Might be tough to find out what it's called...

Is there any font for the temple writings/symbols?
Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

[url=http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/urw/microgramma/]Micrograma[/url] was used on the external of the Prometheus - and maybe adapted for the inside
It's also the typeface used in ALIEN and 2001 - later became [url=http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/eurostile/]Eurostile[/url] but also has a free variant called [url=http://www.ufonts.com/search/micro%20technic]Micro technic[/url]

Do you mean Gotham Book?

Ben Procter used Micro technic in his concept art by the way :)

I'd also like to know if the font used for the Engineer's language is available anywhere. I tried a search but didn't have any luck finding one. I know I can draw it, using pics as references, but it'd be nice to have a font. :P :)

I found a high res picture of one of the displays (right click to view these full size):

I really think this is a custom font. It seems to share the same lineage as a lot of sci-fi fonts, but there are some pretty distinct characters in the set. It looks like they used it on the exterior as well (the 05):

A different font for the "Prometheus" wordmark too:

The word mark on that last shot was pretty roughly comped on top for some reason in the trailers. The one I really noticed seem to look somewhat disjointed from the actual ship

Korataki used in[i] Mass Effect[/i] looks close to the interior signage in [i]USCSS Prometheus[/i]. Some numbers and letters look different, but this is the closest I could find so far.

The typeface [i][b]Trivial[/b][/i] is used for various signage inside the ship and on various computer displays. (They use a mix of both the letters available from the uppercase and lowercase sets of the Trivial typeface.)
