Re: Font Help
Have you ever tried whatthefont at https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/ ? just upload that image in and it will tell you either what it is, or give you a bunch of fonts that are similar.
I tried using it, but couldn't find an exact match. Maybe someone else has another suggestion for finding specific fonts?

With 200 on a page there are 120 pages so it may take some time to go thru all of them.
Enjoy

Re: Font Help
The thing I hate most about making signs for people, is when they want the exact FONT in the photo, but they have no clue as to the name of the FONT.

Larry - that's a great suggestion! I'm sure there are some that are pretty close.Larry83301 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 10:35 amLarry83301 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 22, 2021 10:35 am I would try DAFONT.COM They have several fonts that look kinda like what you are looking for.

Re: Font Help
Just as an exercise, I searched for this font without success. I found many that were similar, but not the exact font.
Sorry.

Re: Font Help
I just did an address sign last weekend above a persons garage door. The numbers were spelled out so there were several letters to accomplish this. . They had a font that the liked, which I found online, but it would have cost them an additional $26. I had one that was close that I found in my collection tha tI offered to them as well for no additional cost. But they werent crazy about my font initially. I figured that they could do the legwork to find a free one if they didnt want to pay for a font that they wanted (which Iagain I found). So I gave them the Dafont website and one other website and told them that if they want to look through the thousands of pages and find a free one, have at it.. A few days later they got back with me and decided to use one that I had on my computer and offered them, which I suggested to them originally. I let them jump through their own hoops.
The Signage turned out great once they pulled the trigger, but I wouldn't let them run me ragged, and everyone was happy!
Maybe give them a link to the Dafont website and have them do the legwork, They will likely settle on something free IMO!

Re: Font Help
Looks like the font that you are looking for may be "Limon Script"------ So close, but...?

Re: Font Help
I have used that font before, but I have no memory. I cannot remember the name.
I do have it on an external hard drive, but that drive has almost 600,000 fonts on it that I have collected and/or purchased over the years, and finding it without the exact name is nearly impossible.

Re: Font Help
I only 4-5k fonts, but I like to use this free program called "Font Viewer" to get through my measly collection. It catalogues them and shows the font characters. It'd take me a month (who knows how long) to search through 600k fonts. It'd probably crash my computer trying to search through them all. LOL!! There is a function on the home page (bottom right corner- "LOAD") that allows the user to select a drive, so it may even work on an external herd drive.. But 600k??Joe Jones wrote: ↑Sat Jul 24, 2021 1:13 pm I have used that font before, but I have no memory. I cannot remember the name.

Re: Font Help
I didn’t realize how many I had, until I went through all of the CDs and DVDs and old hard drives etc. I pulled them all into a huge file and deleted the duplicates. Fonts from the OLD computer CDs they used to sell in Comp USA and stores that supported the old Apple and Commodore 64 computers too. Some fonts are duplicates under different names, or someone created a variation on an old font from the 80s.
Amazingly, as long as they are a TTF (True Type Font) the will work with today’s programs.
I went to print a catalog of them, but it would have required REAMS of paper!

Re: Font Help
Remember in the 80's when they would throw together those cheap CDs of fonts and sell them for about $10.00? A font collection of "FUN FONTS", "ANIMAL FONTS", "KID FONTS", "CLOWN FONTS", "BALLOON FONTS", "BUSINESS FONTS", "HALLOWEEN FONTS", "CHRISTMAS FONTS", "FEATHER FONTS", "BUBBLE FONTS" etc. Well, I probably have all of those fonts.
I have the old fonts from Print Shop, Print Artist, Word Perfect and other Desktop Publishing programs of the 80's. The programs will not run on 64-Bit PCs, but the fonts still work ... mostly.
Probably 95% of them will NEVER be used because they were created at a time when making silly, impractical fonts was a "thing." SOME of them cannot be read by today's modern programs. 7-BIT vs 8 BIT, and other anomalies. But if I can FIND and fire up an old Commodore 64, or an Amiga, or a Texas Instruments computer, I can still access them!
Also, the greatest majority of these fonts did not have CNC plasma cutting in mind. They were meant to be printed by ink jet printers, so they are basically USELESS for metal art and current sign making techniques.
Remember that most fonts have a Regular, a Bold, an Italic, a Regular Italic, A Bold Italic, a Strikethrough and an Outline font in their groups. Some of them have VERTICAL (letters rotate 90 degrees) and MIRROR options too.

It’s a lot like when I send my helper to the truck to get me a 10” piece of copper. I have to remind them that I want it measured in regular inches, not penis inches…..
