There are several sites that will help you to identify fonts. Here is one:

Thanks for the tips. However What the Font and identifont were no help.

I had to take on the task of going to fonts dot com and looking through thousands of fonts.

I found a match for the above image, the text:

Turning great

That font is Gill Sans.

Still trying to match the IDEAS font...but I think I can sneak in with using the Gill Sans font and squeeze it in a graphics program.

The lower case 'g' was the one I needed to match.

Thanks everyone.

Bob the font is Gills Sans. The mac version of the font is being displayed. My lower case "g" matches perfect. The IDEAS is the Bold Condensed version. If you need help putting it together IM (aim) me. I can put it together for you in Illustrator and give you whatever size/format you might need. Ha, but what am I thinking your a seasoned computer guy, I'm sure you've already completed the problem

Thanks thebeard,

I found the bold condensed version as well. Thanks for naming That Font!

Giggle :cool: I found it for free on a site that was charging a gazillion bucks for the entire package, but they did not have their index in place...:p I downloaded the entire font family in the directory tree. ;)

P.S. I think I have seen you in the Zen Cart forums...

On the advice of my attorney, I must restate my comments about finding a loophole in a pay for fonts website...

My alleged comments came from the drunken ramblings of a vagrant, with his head in the doorway and his feet in the rain---while mumbling prophecies to the pigeons.

The earlier comment didn't sound like you at all. The loophole was probably something you imagined.

You wouldn't by chance not know that site that you didn't download the whole font family from do you?
