| 1158626 | 2010-12-04 01:23:00 | I'm trying to find a font which has long dissapeared from our computers. I've been Googling till I'm gogle-eyed but can't ID it. Are there any typographical wizards out there among us who knows this font: www.imagef1.net.nz I have to put it on a grave stone before Xmas so I'm fast running out of time..thanks heaps |

| 1158627 | 2010-12-04 01:55:00 | Best way would be to go to DaFont (http://www.dafont.com/) or something and browse till you find something close. | SoniKalien (792) | ||

Thanks Soni but I've been browsing through that site and others for hours but still haven't come up with it. I just thought there may be someone here who would recognise it. Meanwhile I'll keep looking........... |

| 1158630 | 2010-12-04 08:28:00 | Try a Google image search for the "periodic table of fonts". The tables show the inventor for each font. These are known as info-graphics, so try this page (api.ning.com etQD-K395jV92lT7IsrPI-l1CPkg8Ouywy*WQnOhaoJAbX/Periodic_Table_of_Typefaces_large.jpg) - zoom the image to see if can find the font you need. There are other tables around. Might give the font name/style. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||

It's quite a nice typeface so when I do finally get a result I will probably use it quite often. Thanks for your effort though - cheers. |

There are other tables around. Might give the font name/style. Doesn't seem to produce a result there either kahawai chaser. It seems to be a cross between a serif and a graphical font of sorts. It would probably help if I knew if it was truetype, postscript or Open type etc, but unfortunatly I don't have a clue. Thanks for giving it a go though, you guys here are really helpfull - much appreciated! |

| 1158633 | 2010-12-04 09:27:00 | Nearest I could find was relatives of 'Chancery' and 'Calligraphy' but it has a few more embellishments - extra big curl on 'A' and below the baseline curls on 'h' and 'n'. You may be able to create your own if you can find a copy of Font Lab. | coldot (6847) | ||

Gonna have to wait till tomorrow.......my eyeballs are on my knees tonight!!! |
