A member by the name of BHiga6181 mentioned on another thread to use Arial Narrow 10 pt. Font.
I decided to use that in bold with italics and it worked pretty good. I made one for Crankase and Grand Slam. I just need to use better labels next time for better looking quality. Here is the link to that thread... http://www.hisstank.com/forum/showth...=custom+stands By the way did using 9pt. instead of 10pt. make it look like a closer match? The 10 pt. font looks ok to me.

Yeah, I did Arial narrow on both 9 and 10, but the lines aren't as thick as the original and the letters aren't "swished" enough. I'll do some more experimenting.

The closest I've come is MS Gothic, bold italics. I don't know about the font size yet without hooking up my printer.

Okay, I think it is Arial. But... I think both Arial and Arial Narrow were used. Some stands like Scarlett's look like they used Arial and others looked like they used Arial Narrow. At least that's how it looks to me. But I would say it is Arial/Arial Narrow (if it's not, then it's pretty darn close).

You might be on to something here with this Gothic thing. I think I might now have to redo the stands that I've made for Crankcase and Grand Slam. I just have to experiment more to decide between using 10pt. or 9pt. font. |

Franklin Gothic Book or Franklin Gothic Med look closer to the correct font than Arial Narrow does.
