I came up with a couple that are similar but likewise, no trailing L, R, K. It *is* possible that these are flourishes added by a graphic designer. It wouldn't be the first time I went off on a non-existent font search. I doubt it though. The way those letters drop down looks naggingly familiar to me. Alas, I've got around 2000 fonts here and no really good font browser

I use a shareware/demo program called Font Xplorer by Moon Software (moonsoftware.com). Unfortunately, the demo only shows the first 25 or so fonts in a folder. I should buy the full version. At $20, it is more than worth it.

Hey, that looks good with one exception. It only previews installed fonts? I try to keep that number under 500 and just install special fonts as I need them.

Bitstream's font previewer will preview any font on your system, and you can install or uninstall on the fly. Very recommended for PC users. My version came with Corel's Graphics Suite, but I'm sure the Bitstream site has it available.
Yeah, that's the problem, lots of very close ones but none I can find have the trailing bits, which leads me to think they were added seperately. Oh well I'll just have to get close enough!

This image is taking a really, really long time to load...
Edit: oh, okay, there it is....sorry.
I'm not too good at font recognition so I won't try to answer this one.

See if you can find it using the font identifier

Have just tried it and it comes up with similar ones but they don't have the trailing L, R or K

I went through the series of questions 3 times and couldn't find anything either. Oh well....
If I run across something, I will let you know.

They don't know either as they just print their stationary from an image of it they have! No one can remember who did the original one!!

Oh, I remember why I didn't buy it - It doesn't support Adobe fonts

Oh, I didn't notice that, probably because I have all mine installed because I never thought about trying to browse them without installing them!
I'll have a look through this list later.....

I downloaded the Font Viewer a year or two ago from here.

Scroll down and find Font Viewer and there is a newer one, Font Viewer 2. PC Mag give a good description of each.

Hmmm... don't think so. I am not sure and do not really know how to go about seeing if it does.

And does it browse Adobe fonts? They account for about half my font collection.
