Can you name that font?
by Doc on Dec.20, 2004, under General News
As part of the design for Storm 2.0, I want to regenerate some of the graphics. The only problem is, I don’t seem to have the font for the “Storm” in the logo any more. Can anyone identify it? Otherwise I’ll look at an alternate font. Also, I can probably figure this out, but how many of you are IE users? Lack of proper PNG transparency support really makes it tough…Update: We have a winner – one of the anonymous posters correctly identified it as “Stonehenge” as available from Highfonts.com.

Using mozilla here. No problem with png graphics. I wouldn’t worry about IE users. They’re probably too busy dealing with all the pop-ups, adware, and spyware IE installs…
Seriously, though, png is a w3c standard for web graphics and has been for some time, any standards compliant browser should be able to render them just fine.

whatthefont.com
whatthefont.com is pretty much the lord and savior of font identification.
in about 30 seconds, it help me determine that “Benedikt-Light” in title caps is *almost* exactly the font you used … except that the “M” isn’t quite right.

Re:whatthefont.com
The bold part looks like Serpentine (similar to that used in Babylon 5).
