WEG's font help

Help me out here. I'm doing the Attack of the Clones Sourcebook, and I really want to make it look exactly like a WEG book. All I'm missing is the font WEG used for the text. I'm not talking about the title font, which is Eras, but the font actually used in the body of text.

Help me fellow Pitters, you're my only hope.

Here Gry. This site has thousands and thousands of fonts. Just look through the fonts in the drop-down menu in the corner.

That's a nice resource, thanks Skaff. But actually finding that font there will be very tricky......

I know. But hope it helps a little.

I'll inquire at the WEG website. Perhaps someone there will know. Besides, I'm pretty sure I've seen at least one home made book that looks like the real deal. It'll turn up.

Thanks a lot, I'd really appreciate the info.

I saw that on the WEG message Boards, Thanks for your help. That is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Cody

That's gold, Cheshire! GOLD!!

Now I just have to find the Cheltenham font for free. Shouldn't be too hard.

EDIT: Ha! Got it!

Good. I was scouring the internet trying to find the fonts for free. I don't think I'd found the exact ones, but I have close approximations. I'm glad to hear that you've got the real deal and got it for free. That's really awesome.

EDIT:
BTW, where did you find the Eras Bold? Again, I've found something close, though not the real deal.

Gry Sarth · Posted: Tue Feb 14, 2006 11:07 pm Post subject:

Well, the font is not working very well. It's ok on Word, but on InDesign it's behaving erratically. I'll try to find a different one.

Where did I find Eras? Oh, I don't remember, but I certainly didn't pay for it. Tiy can PM me with a mail address if you'd like me to send it to you.

Darn it, I just can't seem to find the font for free download anywhere! The font used is Cheltenham Book....

If anybody manages to grab it, please pass it along.

Do you want the near approximation for now? I've got that.

Gry Sarth · Posted: Wed Feb 15, 2006 12:54 pm Post subject:

What would that be?

I'm trying to remember. I think it was Cheltenham BT or something to that effect.

I can post it up when I get home this evening.

It would be nice if we could get the real thing though. Wait, I have an idea.

Hey, Commander Cody... can I have twenty-two bucks?
