FONTS NEEDED to finish 'DK Jr CPO' vectorising.
« on: August 31, 2004, 08:24:54 pm »
Troops,

I'm close to finishing the vectorising of the 'Donkey Kong Jr' CPO.  

I'm looking for some specific fonts to utilise on the CPO which appear to closely match the original text, hence I may not need to vector trace the 'small' text on the Instruction Card.

I can't find downloadable versions anywhere.

They are:

'FOLIO MEDIUM' -  Agfa Monotype Family

'NIMBUS SANS MEDIUM' - Nimbus Sans URW++ Family

'PT PRAGMATICA DEMI' - Paratype Family

Little Help!?

Cheers in advance.

I'll take a look on my disc of fonts when I get home.  I believe I have at least one of those.

pleas please don't forgot to convert to vector the text
this way anybody should be abble to use the file without any quality loss ( I mean font substitution, and scaling problems )

I'm on the planning stage

namzep, mahuti,

Thanks.  Could you email any of these to me..please?

I don't really like the idea of substituting the original texts with a similar font, however, the Instruction Card text is very small and it would be easy to do it this way.  If the fonts are not accurate enough...I just won't use them.

Cheers.

Zorg,

Don't worry...I won't forget!   ;D

Thanks all!
