What the font...

[AndyD]

Hi,
I wondered whether anyone could identify this font? I was trying to find a free version so as a friend asked me if I could change the text colour to orange.
I tried a few different fonts - I thought it was Heading-Pro - and could overlay the letters acceptably but could never get the "c" to look right.
Many thanks.

Hi Andy,
Hate looking for Fonts. Mindbogglingly boring.
Here's the best I could do:
1: Clone your image.
2: Create a rectangle over the text area.
3: Select this & the clone.
4: Arange / Combine Shapes / Intersect Shapes.
5: Arrange / Create Bitmap Copy.
6: Delete the bitmap created in 4.
7: In photo Tool toolbar go to the very far right, select Colours to Enhance.
8: Right click over the black colour and select Make Transparent.
9: In the remaining image select the Light Contone & set to Orange.

Result:

Hi Egg, that looks great. Do you have anything like this on your YT channel?

Roboto. You can get it from Google Fonts.

Thanks Mwenz, I have that already. I hadn't tried that font... Brilliant.

Sounds like I'm at the bottom of a well but hope this helps Andy:

Egg, When I saw the OP's question I thought "I'll have a quick go at that".

My concept was the same as yours - isolate the bit of text and change it's colour using light contone. But to achieve it you had to use many copies and conversions to force Xara to do your bidding. Congratulations to you.

Here's my failed method for your amusement:
1. I pasted the OP's graphic in a new photograph document.
2. I placed a mask over the text and inverted it to protect everything but the text area.
3. Using "Select colour to enhance" I selected the white text and adjusted the settings as you did.
4. I then tried to change the white text to contone orange, but I could see through the pink mask that the whole image had been affected. Q. When is a mask not a mask - A. When it's a Xara mask. Not funny, just frustrating.

It seemed logical and efficient to me, except it didn't work as expected. After using AutoCAD and Protel software and CorelDRAW in concert for many years with great accuracy and success of finished products I designed, I've found the disappointing aspect of Xara software is - for me at least - the simple things are all complicated.

I can't afford the high-end stuff now and the old versions I have don't like Windows 8.1 and 10, so I only use Xara's Designer Pro for the things that work for me.

Thanks for the comments and instruction. It's nice to see, in these troubled times, such communications of successes and failures.

I don't think the R of Roboto quite works. It has a straight leg, whereas the example has a curvy one. I think Vinila Regular (yes, it is spelled like that) is a better match.
