You can have a look here for the font. http://forum.fanart.tv/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=10 We have to search fonts out a lot for logos so I made a post a while back on font resources and even made a video on how to submit for a match. It even shows what to do if you don't own the font or don't want to buy it for a couple letters. -- akovia -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Faster than the air-speed velocity of an unladen european swallow _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
