Need Throhand Font - 11/26/2004 0:57:24   

Does anyone know where I might be able to download Throhand Roman (windows not mac) for free? Or know the name of a copycat font.

I only need it for one single page banner consisting of 6 letters - so paying US$42 (AU$53) is rather steep.

Matching a client's existing stationery can be a right pain.

Hi Kitka

Could you post some examples of the font, so I can see if I have any replicas?

Thanks

Hi Dan!

Many thanks for your very quick reply.

You can see the font here: http://www.fonts.com/findfonts/detail.asp?pid=203598

or a bit larger here: http://www.identifont.com/show?5JB

The capitals of C, J, K and R are the most important letters stylewise that I require. I also need T, L, and A.

Goudy Old Style seems to be very similar, but not quite close enough. Sheesh, I have thousands of fonts but just not this one that I need! :) Probably cos it is mainly a mac font.

Regards,

Hate you??? Why on earth??? I sure would love you if you found it for me though.

I downloaded your font zip files way back in Feb this year (many thanks again!) and naturally that was one place I checked first up. I didn't find anything likely under the Ts or Rs, so unless it is lurking under a strange name, it's not there ... whaaaaaaa.

Oh well, maybe I'll have to make do with Goudy.

Regards,

I just looked for it, and it's paid for only...which is a shame...

If you can hang on, I have Fontographer at home, and I can attempt to make it for you?

Hi Dan,

Many thanks for the kind offer but I really couldn't accept. I know you are a very busy lad and have your time more than cut out for you already. I gather that creating good fonts is not exactly a quick and easy task, which why they can get away with charging $42 each.

I'll probably have to settle for using Goudy, especially as I need to get the template done this weekend.

Regards,

I intend on making my own brand of fonts anyway....I'll add it to the list of "similars":)

Creating fonts fromscratch isn't easy, copying them isnt easy...need a steady hand etc...and time to do it....(plenty of that at 1am)...

May set-it up as a service soon...once I have the time during normal hours:)
