I'm talking about the title font, not Bank Gothic... the font where the middle line on a capital "E" is pointy and sticks way out to the right.
EDIT: Right, not left... corrected. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

PhReAk is right. Its custom artwork. When we asked for a TrueType font, we were told by Volition (I think it was Adam Plecher), that the logo was designed as is. There was no TrueType font designed for it.
-
time to design one, eh?
dont look at me..im a digital modeller, not a graphic designer!
------------------
have you ANY idea of how much trouble you're in?
assault on a police officer.
Theft of police property.
Illegal possesion of a firearm.
FIVE counts of attempted murder.
That comes to...
twenty-nine dollars and 14 cents.
cash, cheque or credit card?

I have had the idea for over a year that I should make the FS2 font. And I've started working on it but I couldn't find a good fontmaking program that could import Illustrate files.
Anyway, this is what I got when I tried: http://home.swipnet.se/~w-81377/fs2/fs2title01.jpg ("http://home.swipnet.se/~w-81377/fs2/fs2title01.jpg")
The closest font that I have found is the Futurama font: http://home.swipnet.se/~w-81377/fs2/fs2title.gif ("http://home.swipnet.se/~w-81377/fs2/fs2title.gif")

Wow - that's good enough for what I need it for - do you have the whole alphabet?

I don't have the whole alphabet. I made the title letters in freespace and maybe a couple of more letters, can't really remember.

I was going to post Pez's work, I remember it. There was a thread about this a while back (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) But AFAIK, he never put the actual TTF up for download. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/redface.gif)

Yes, please do.... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/naughty.gif)

Errr... *bump*. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Yeah, I kinda hoped V were going to give in and make one for us, oh well (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Font's actually aren't all that hard to do, as long as they're straight-edged ones. I recall having a look at the underlying structure of TTF's years ago, but I didn't have a reason to make one.

Maybe an little update here. I have all the work I did on the FS2 font somewhere lying around, maybe on my harddrive or on a cd. If I have the time I'm gonna work on the font, but I expect that to me sometimes in january.

Hmmm, well, I guess the render I wanted to use that font on will have to make do with graphic art. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
