Font Hunting

[Turro]

Hi all, I'm looking for a font (typeface) which mimics the characters used in the arrival boards a few years ago, white characters on a black background flipping on their horizontal axis? (of course I'm looking for static fonts, not flipping!) Do you know of such a font? Or know of a good (and possibly free or at least cheap) site? Thanks in advance

Font Hunting is cruel and illegal - all those poor little baby fonts chased all over the countryside, you should be ashamed of yourself ;P

I use www.dafont.com - seems to have everything...

Only if you do it with dogs - fonthounds are illegal throughout the UK.

Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

Yes I really am. :-O But it's a part of a rehab program: I used to eat baby panda 'til last Saturday... :sigh:

I think I've already visited that side, but I'll check it anyway: who knows, maybe they have added it in the meantime. Thanks anyway

If you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch with a camera, and an example of the font you're looking for, you can try http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/iPhone/[^]. I've never tried it myself, but it's free. And supposedly, all you need to do is take a picture of the font in question, and it'll ID it in seconds.
