Do you manually create each letter in the font and copy/paste it? Do you find an existing font that's a near match? Is it a particular software package that does a decent job of it? Etc.? ---------------------- I have officially retired from sucking at everything I do. Life is much easier now.

Whatthefont.com will try and identify the font by having you upload a sample, then use character recognition. Identifont.com will ask you questions about the characteristics of certain characters, then use that info to give you a matching font. From there, it's just a matter of finding that font and typing in the text. RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.

I was doing it quite the hard way. As fate would have it, Corel has a link to WhatTheFont built in. I tried it with Sega Champion Boxing, and it didn't match anything up very well even after filtering and cleaning. Will keep messing with it. ---------------------- I have officially retired from sucking at everything I do. Life is much easier now.
