| 149106 | 2003-06-01 21:08:00 | Nope. I wouldn't mind betting I know why you want it though ;) | agent (30) | ||
| 149107 | 2003-06-01 21:12:00 | Would it be the PC name or the iMac name of the font or maybe some other name you are after? | E.ric (351) | ||
| 149108 | 2003-06-01 21:17:00 | I think it is probably Arial or another similar sans-serif font such as Helvetica. It looks as if it has just been suitably stretched to suit. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 149109 | 2003-06-01 21:37:00 | Well, here's (sal.neoburn.net) my attempt at recreating them. Not exactly the same, but if it's any help, the fonts I used were 'Franklin Gothic Demi Cond' for the "PC WORLD" text and 'Century Gothic' for the "PressF1" text. However, I do believe that they have scaled the image down horizontally, because I could not find a single font on my computer that matched them exactly. Unless of course they used a font that we all don't have... |

| 149110 | 2003-06-01 22:23:00 | Oh good lord, not PC World and fonts... ;-) Oh I remember when I first came to IDG... hehehe Anyways, Im going to have a guess that its something rather similar to Arial... Maybe its even Myriad_MM or a decendant of it ;-) |

| 149112 | 2003-06-01 22:37:00 | Myriad linotype font apparently costs ~$20... And Google doesn't return any results for "myriad_mm"... if Google can't find it, does it even exist? |

| 149113 | 2003-06-02 00:11:00 | PCWorld looks like Arial Narrow that's been bolded and condensed - PressF1 looks like Arial Rounded MT Bold | Greg S (201) | ||
| 149114 | 2003-06-02 01:07:00 | what is going for the prize? $100 cash, and I will put more effort into it, A pencil case of used pencils, forget it, It can stay a mystery font for all I care. |
