Name that font

What sample? I don't see anything.

URL to Busy's image: http://www.munchtech.com/temp/roydon.png

Edit: try entering the address manually in the address bar...

Now I got an error message: "Redirection limit for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page. This may be caused by cookies that are blocked."

I have no blocked cookies, so I'm not sure what the deal here is.

The above site is a great place to ID fonts. Just upload the image and let the server scan and ID it for you. It's a graphic artist's dream.

Awesome link! Thanks for the post, Goob. There's been plenty of times I could have used that.

Nice link.

There's also identifont which tries a game of twenty-questions (or more) before guessing likely fonts.

Btw, try the URL again, but type it in manually instead of clicking the link. I think Busy's htaccess rules are interfering.

Thanks for the links guys, the identifont asked about 35 questions then displayed 30 fonts totally different to questions answered and whatthefont might be having trouble with the slight drop shadow on the letters (tried cleaning it up), so no results there, strange how the results are the same no matter what - good commerical sites

if the image is still not viewable, copy the following into your browser munchtech.com/temp/roydon.png

thanks

http://free-fonts.sustainedhits.com/

has HUGE list and downloadable.. 100% free

Thanks techniner, font sites can be fun but very time consuming, especially when they have HUGE lists of then, will go through them.

Anyone able to stop me going through the list and tell me what this font is?

cheers

Looks like Joy Circuit, only taller

w/r/t the link, no problems guys. Hopefully it can help somebody out as much as it has me

Hey, it's already helped me, Goob. On one site I'm working on, I'd resorted to vector-tracing their logo's font, and wasn't really happy with the result. Now it looks great!

Eeek, I've had to do that a couple of times tim... I sympathise, it's a nightmare!

Ahh tracing, something to pass the time away with... I use it so much, I have a template in corel draw with layers set up for doing it. Have you ever become so anal on getting a curve to match the bitmap, then realize, wait a minute, i'm zoomed in like 1200%, who the heck is going to notice?

I prefer to do all my maps this way. Preferable, traced directly over arial/satelite photos. (the county I am in had arial photos of the entire county done a few years ago, great quality!)

Anyhow back to the topic of fonts. I tried that identafont site, and just wanted to suggest, have as many letters/numbers possible before using. LOL I tried it, answering what I could off of this image: http://wtvgames.com/akronohio.gif and the end result, well lol was nothing like the image, and seemed to go against some of the questions I answered. LOL.

Now the What The Font site, EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bingo! We have a winner! LOL

PS. I'll leave that image on my server, feel free to use it at the what the font site to see how it works.

Double PS.. Oh man, I'm still cracking up.... After What The Font found a font for me, I came across the full character set. (http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/bitstream/belwe/condensed/charmap.html) Since I now had a display of all characters, I went back to the identifont site, answering all the questions. GO TRY THIS. Don't let your graphic business depend on it picking fonts for you! hahahahaahahaha

That font looks like Basic Sans Heavy or Impact. Is there any way you could take one of those and manipulate some charecters so that they'd do what you want them to?

I tried many font sites (takes days going through them all) and couldn't find the exact font, well maybe did but missed it.
There was one font close, think it was assasian or something and as you suggested Roo, modified a few letters. It's not perfect but should do for now, one day I hope to find that font

Thanks all

Not about the fonts, but regarding the problem of displaying an example graphic: Try http://imageshack.us/ You can upload an image and hotlink it (with thumbnail) and you don't even need to register with them.
