    Hi all.

    Some time back I had a contractor supply the logo/Look&Feel stuff for my sales website. I'm fairly sure (not 100%) that he used Photoshop.

    Now that I've had a little bit of practice with Xara X1 I've been taking some of those elements and reassembling them myself for use in other promotional material.

    For the most part of have been able to reconstruct the various elements OK, but there's a very important typeface that I have not been able to identify. It is key to the Look&Feel so I have been using an image of the main word that is done in this font, but I'd really like to do better.

    Does anyone recognize the font that the word "Nightmare" is done in? The home page is at: http://HackersNightmare.com.

    PLEASE accept this as a genuine request --- it is not advertising by stealth.

    TIA

    Hi Bill,
    I can't help you with the font ... what I usually do is trace the word in X1. It doesn't take that long, and the vector "nightmare" will be easier to work with.

    Hi Bill,

    Looks like John was a lot quicker than I was. You can download the font from Randy Pavelich's site

    Fantastic!!! I just knew this would be the place to ask.

    Thank you all very much --- I now have an exact reproduction.

    Hi Gary,

    The font is Bergell regular. John Rayner's post (which is now gone) had the name mentioned in it, so I didn't repeat it.

    I thought it looked familiar. I belive that font ships with CorelDRAW.
