Actually. I've been dealing with fonts so long, if you show me a sample, I can tell you what font it's based on. (I'm not trying to sound cocky, many people have come to me for this kind of assistance)If the font is non-standard... (meaning not-available) I have on a few occasions, created it.Pete Willard

Except for the "W", it "looks" like a "Times New Roman"You may have to play with your graphics program to get the letter spacing and it could be a "bold" type.But I have no credibility

It's not being cocky,my wife is in graphic arts and page layout for her living and I always call on her if I've got a font I need identified.
but I do second the idea of a font master list.Gary S
