I'm trying to recreate some images, but having trouble getting the right font!



To me, it looks like Arial, but doesn't seem to be. I guess it may have had some extra editing done to it.

If anyone could tell me how to create it this image, would be much appreciated!

Cheers

Perhaps you need to explain what needs to be different in your recreation?

There are quite a few sites with fonts on them, where you can do a descriptive search. Try www.fonts.com. You can refine by description what you want, and see multiple fonts that match the description you choose. Like "+Serif +RoundedCorners -Modern", if you get what I mean.

I found one on my machine that was quite similar. Do a google on -> Transport Heavy.

I think there might be licencing issues with that one though.

It looks like either Arial or Arial Black, but it looks like it has been created in Photoshop with either Smooth, Sharp or Crisp (I think) settings applied to it rather than just being the plain font. Could also have had the character spacing adjusted.

Simplest solution is to recreate all the buttons so that even if they are not precisely as before, they are all the same.

I think that's what I'll end up doing. It's just when I did, text wasn't quite as clear. This was in Paint Shop Pro - I've got another machine with Pshop which I'm more used to using, so I'll have a go with that. Thanks!
