Re: Font Identification Help
Hi
Hopefully not a problem
try the following link
http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/
I've uploaded your image and their automatic system fails to recognise it so I've loaded it up on the forum
If you watch
http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/f...aitforit=98885
you will see your solution - so far they have always suceeded for me.
The comes your real problem - finding the font without parting with lots of money

Re: Font Identification Help
Might be a modified font.
Have you tried DaFont?
It is a source of free fonts and you might be able to find something that is very close to this font.
There is one type designer who has done a lot of very excellent retro fonts Nick's Fonts which is also on the DaFont site.
But depending on what you have to do, this looks like a fairly easy font to replicate. Maybe that is the best way to go?

Re: Font Identification Help
abstract fonts (http://www.abstractfonts.com/) is another source with lots of fonts and a viewer so you can type in the words you want and browse through the fonts to see how they look.
Re: Font Identification Help
Yep - tried those font sites, actually Dafont has been my first port of call for quite some time now when looking for the unsual.
I've also tried several other font sites and spent way too much time looking, it will I think be much faster to recreate what I need by hand in this case.
I was just hopeful that someone would recognise it straight away - I've had enough of searching....

Re: Font Identification Help
That's close, but you can get closer at Identifont.com. They aren't perfect, either, as seen by looking at the lower case 'o:' Briem Akademi Bold Condensed Oblique or Linotype Rory Oblique. Maybe Identifont will be of more help in your future searches. Try it, it's real easy.

Re: Font Identification Help
You are looking for the Mac TrueType font named Techno.ttf. It was included with both Mac OS 8.6 and 9.x, I don't think it's available for PC. Go to a Mac friend of yours and ask for the font suitcase. Install CrossFont, register it ($45.00, runs under Windows XP, 2000, 2003, NT and Vista), and convert the Mac font for non-profit purpose to Techno.ttf for Windows. Perhaps your friend doesn't have the Techno, well, buy it. Good luck!

Re: Font Identification Help
Sledger, Another option would be to take several letters & finish them off as if the next letter touching it were removed or un-kerned so the letters don't touch. Connect the dots so to speak, then open those letters in "What the font" to find a similar font. Once you find one, you can kern them back together in Xara.
Re: Font Identification Help
Question to Sledger.
Would you like to have access to font Apple techno.ttf for Windows and for personal use only? When converted and ready I can make it available for you in a private message.
Please let me know.
Cheers, Anders
