    Matching Fonts ?

    Hi,

    I'm trying to get a clean CAD file of a logo. I have tracing software- but the original was very pixelized and the DXF I ended up with needs alot of work.

    Is there a way to match the font type up- A font database?

    Whats the easiest way to go about this? The original logo is just two different text fonts, would be super easy if I knew what fonts they used. Im not sure cleaning the image up by hand is worth the time invested.

    Thanks for any ideas.

    Hi.

    There are quite a few online sites doing this for free;
    Try one of these;
    WhatTheFont! « MyFonts
    Identifont - Identify fonts by appearance, find fonts by name
    Online Font Checker to Find What Fonts are Used

    Good Luck

    Thanks for the links,

    I found the font for part of what I needed, unfortunately its a $50 font :/ Surely not paying that much for it.
