    I have a rare application for Xara here at work, but need help in identifying the font used for the word "cargo" in the logo below. I need to use our division's logo on a printed report, but all they gave me are .jpg files which are too small and don't re-scale well, so I'm recreating them in Xara. Can anybody help with the font name?

    Myriad Web Bold looks like a match to me.

    Don't know where it comes from though.

    Tahoma also matches and Verdana.

    What I do if I need to match a font like this is to have the bitmap on the page in Xara, type the text I need to match and go through the Font gallery - if the text is selected double clicking in the font gallery will change the font.

    With this one I just looked through to match the 'a' first.

    Thanks! I ended up using Verdana per Christine's method outlined above. Because I needed it be slightly bolder than the Bold Verdana font I had, I added a 0.5pix contour to it and then used the "Inset Path" command.

    Myriad Web is an Adobe font. We got it in Adobe Web Fonts package for the office.
