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.

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.

[wEvil]

time to design one, eh?

dont look at me..im a digital modeller, not a graphic designer!

assault on a police officer.
Theft of police property.
Illegal possesion of a firearm.
FIVE counts of attempted murder.

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

The closest font that I have found is the Futurama font: 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.

Can you make what you did as a download?

I was going to post Pez's work, I remember it. There was a thread about this a while back   But AFAIK, he never put the actual TTF up for download.  

*hint*  

[Sandwich]

Yes, please do....

Errr... *bump*.  

[Fineus]

Yeah, I kinda hoped V were going to give in and make one for us, oh well  

[Sandwich]

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.
