I could use some help in finding the font used in Space Invaders.  I've searched the forums and Google with no luck.  Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Roughy:
Do a google on Free Fonts; a lot of sites have similar, home-brewed fonts.

Otherwise, if you can get an .eps file of something with the font in it (even if it's convereted to outlines), then you can upload that to:  http://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/

Thanks.  I've tried WhatTheFont (using a .jpg of an enlarged piece of the screen shot)and the closest match (FFF Alias) isn't that close at the smaller sizes.  I'm hoping to use a font size of 10 or maybe 12 on a web page; maybe I just won't be able to find it that small.  I'll keep looking on Google though.  Thanks.
Roughy:
Maybe I'm misunderstanding your intent, but if you plan to use the space invaders type font on a web page, it's mostly only going to show up if the user has the font on their system unless you've got some way to force-install.

Crap.  You're right, I hadn't thought of that.  Must've slept thru that part of Web Page Building 101.   I'm looking at doing a Space Invaders-themed cab with the obligatory web page.  I could still use the font  on a CP or bezel, so there's still some point in finding it, just lost some of the sense of urgency though.   Much obliged....
