Can you name that font?

posted by Doc on Monday December 20, @06:26PM
from the lost-archives dept.

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.

The font appears to be a form of the "Viking" font family, Seems to be quite close [acidfonts.com] or looks more like like it [masterstech-home.com] Hope that helps Lurch Kimded

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.

The bold part looks like Serpentine (similar to that used in Babylon 5).-- Damien http://djryan.tripod.com/blog/blogger.html
