: Some MS Word "font" questions
Don_Lightfoot Jul 10th, 09, 10:24 PM I've gone through every font style available in my MS Word '07 and am unable to match the two font styles in the pictures below.
The style for the word "EQUIPPED" I can get very close except for the "Q" - can't get the font with that type of slash through it. I can't seem to come close to the font style for the word "PRINTED'.
Any idea if I'm missing something? Is there anyway you can download various font styles somewhere that can be integrated into MS Word?
Appreciate it.

Don_Lightfoot Jul 10th, 09, 11:35 PM Thanks for the link Mike. I may need some download help as I've been surfing myself since I posted this and found out the correct fonts (at least in my opinion).
EQUIPPED - Future Serie BQ Bold
PRINTED - Geometric Slabserif 703 Bold Condensed
In case anybody is interested I went to this website (http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/) where you can upload an image (I used the two posted in this thread) and they will give you some samples of the possible font style - unbelievable :yes:
Mike Jul 11th, 09, 12:52 PM I saw your other post and what your trying to do after I posted in this one.
Thought those with the date were still available through some of the Camaro places but been wrong before.
Good luck.
Don_Lightfoot Jul 11th, 09, 1:14 PM Well Mike, I have no idea why I got on this crusade :confused:
Yes, the dated decal is available. However, comparing it, or the other one available, to Rick's original they are not close to be honest. Wrong fonts, wrong size of decal, wrong spacing, wrong margins, etc.
Now that I have the font styles I need, I'm having a tough time finding them as a free download. Been trying your Yahoo link and also through Google.
I'll keep searching.

Don_Lightfoot Jul 14th, 09, 3:27 PM Thanks for the links Jon. Those are the two purchase sites I already have bookmarked. Would be nice to find them cheaper than $279 for one and $24.75 for the other.
jonh Jul 14th, 09, 5:32 PM Hang on. I thought they were free. I think I will download one
and see.
Jon
Don_Lightfoot Jul 16th, 09, 1:10 PM There are some free ones on there Jon and I downloaded one as a test just to see if I can get it to migrate into MS Word which I did without any problem. The two mentioned in my previous post are just not available free anywhere, at least in my lengthy searches. If we proceed with this project then we may have to bite the bullet and buy them :(
jonh Jul 17th, 09, 1:20 AM I will be checking with a friend tomorrow. His dad has a very large print shop. No guarantees but am still trying and will let you know munyawna.

Don_Lightfoot Jul 17th, 09, 11:09 AM Your efforts are appreciated Jon, thanks.
jonh Jul 17th, 09, 7:09 PM Don,
Sorry I could not help.
Good luck with your project. Would like to see it when complete.
Jon
Don_Lightfoot Jul 17th, 09, 9:17 PM I kind of knew what your answer was going to be Jon. I checked with a couple of guys I know earlier in the week, a Graphic Designer and Printing Shop Manager, and had no luck either. Thanks anyway.
If we get this thing going there will no doubt be a posting here on TC so keep your eyes open I guess.
