Title: Searching a font
Post by: Chaos1987 on Tue 15/05/2007 17:35:21
Hello, I cant find anywhere font from Simon the Sorcerer. But I mean the font that is in the hotspot label.

http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/simon-the-sorcerer/screenshots/gameShotId,2377/ (http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/simon-the-sorcerer/screenshots/gameShotId,2377/)

at this screen it says: "Look at".

Does anyone know whats the name or where to get it?

Wrong forum.

The Resources page mentions this collection (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/scifonts.htm) of fonts - any of them any good?

If it is indeed a commercial font, and not something drawn by the game developers (which is likely), you could try http://www.identifont.com/ which is a great way to find a font you don't know the name of.

Edit: I went through their suggestions, and none of them matched though some are similar. It's also likely that this may be an Amiga font, as Simon the Sorcerer was developed on the Amiga if I recall correctly. If you just need the font for the menu of a game, you may be better off doing it as graphics and tracing over (or if same resolution, cutting pasting) the original font.
