I'm doing layout for a future article and would love to use that font (it was from a 1910 publication on their topic). It's for a non profit group, one time use so..naturally.. "free" is the operative word.. ....but.. anyone know where I could find this or one very similar to it?

Tanya, the sample you have posted is too small for me to run through my font recognition software. If you could re-scan it at a much higher resolution (600 > 1200 dpi) and with any other characters I could try it again.
(Greyscale, 1200 dpi, PSD and Zip or Stuffed. If the archive is too big to post on the forum, e-mail it to me direct)

Cheers, Al.

PS, I'm still waiting patiently for my 2 crates of Guinness! [bustagut]

check out http://www.dafont.com for the fonts they have there. They have alot there, so I don't know if you'd find the exact one there (if it even exists), but you might be able to fine something close.

Hope that helps

I checked out the font site and I found a couple fonts I really liked. I down loaded them to my unzipped file. Now can anyone tell me how I can transfer these fonts to Photoshop 7 so that I can use them there. Thanks.

Tanya, the software is called Font Expert. It is available for Mac & PC. I only have v.2 but v.3 is available here:

It is really simple, quick and accurate as long as you have a reasonable selection of characters to scan in.

If you often need to find out what a font is, then this is a goodie.

Cheers Al.

I appreciate the tips on the sites mentioned. However I am still not sure how to transfer the fonts so that they will work in Photoshop 7. Can anyone help me there. I use the PC and my OS is W2000 Pro.
Thanks.
