Can anyone identify the font used for the title News Radio on this image: http://ak.buy.com/db_assets/large_images/530/40233530.jpg[^] I'm building a HTPC to serve as a DVD jukebox and I'm ripping all of my DVDs to files on the hard drive (I decided to start with my News Radio set because it takes less time to rip an episode than it does a 2-hour movie). I want to create some images to serve as folder icons. BTW, if you're interested in building your own HTPC (Home Theater PC), there is a *freeware* .Net application available called Media Portal that allows you to control your media. You can even get the source code to it if you want to delve into making your own modifications. While I'm here, if you haven't ever watched News Radio, you're really missing out. There are consistent references to previous episodes that you could miss if you're not watching intently, and Phil Hartman was a comic genius.

"...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001Interesting challenge, This one[^] is the closest I've found. There are a lot of 'neon' fonts out there but I can't find the exact one which is irritating because I know I've seen it elsewhere, on another VHS/DVD box cover I think, Saturday Night Fever?

Close, but not close enough. It's starting to look like I'm going to have to just recreate the thing with a series of point-to-point lines in Paintshop Pro. I wish they'd come up with a filter that created a point-to-point vector layer by tracing the edge of something...

I still want to know if that is the same font from Saturday Night Fever. As a last resort you could always contact the publisher or the artistic director of the series.

So I tried http://www.identifont.com and after answering 49 questions about letter shapes there were still 90 possible fonts.

Nope, not the same - I also checked American Grafitti... No luck there either.

I don't know if the show title was done the same way - it might just be the box art for the dvd sets...

Not similar, and someone already posted that link earlier.
