The circonflex & archisel are about as close as I can get I believe. Those are pretty nice. Would it be possible to get that shape file?

Ok guys, I think I have come across a name for these fonts I have been looking for. The first one is a font named "scribble". The other font was named "glascow". I was talking to an old school guy here and that's what he called them. Anyone else heard of these or have samples?

[PDJ]

I'd be more than happy to send them to you but, you don't have an e-mail on your profile.  Drop me a note with your e-mail and I'll send them to you.

Architectual Fonts...they suck!

Why do Architects ALWAYS have to be differant....

I mean why do they use halfassed fonts, custom created fonts whats the point!

I seriously have almosty a Gig of Fonts on my server because of al the differant font files these Arch's use. and font files are small so you can imagine how many I have. NOt to mention SHX files.

Architect need to relize they are not the center of the world!

Sorry for the Vent.

<<Why do Architects ALWAYS have to be differant.... >>

A contractor asked me a similar question years ago, and I explained to him that engineers drew the same detail for each project the same way until they found a better solution.  Architects drew the same detail differently for each project, for the hell of it, it's in their genes.  Besides you never know what's behind Door No: 2 until you look. This might not always be the best approach, but it sure is more interesting.  It's sort of like you spelling "differant" in a non-conventional way....it keeps us on our toes.
