    I used a slightly different image because I could get it in hi res, which works better for clone brushing:




    I'll give the other one a go in a minute, though
    This is great. Unfortunately I am out of rep for the day so can't add to the pos reps.

    Maybe a few GOGstars could replace Mark Hamill et al?

    Doing it now. I can't find an exact font match which is very traumatic for a typography nerd.

    There's no rush - as long as you manage to find it before the Return of the GOG...

    I feel your pain. I'm a massive typography nerd too. I judge people who use comic sans in a non-educational context.

    Meaning that in an educational context you don't judge them? Why not?:confused: It's such a dumb font...

    It's fine for what it was designed for: text for comics...

    That's not an educational context, though, is it?

    It was also partly designed to help kids learn to handwrite. I only found this recently, but when teaching primary, you have to be careful not to confuse kids when they are learning to write. Comic Sans has 'correctly' drawn letters. The lowercase letters a, k, and g in typefaces are often differently formed to the way we write them, so don't help when learning to write. If you choose comic Sans as a teacher, in the context of teaching kids to write, only then will I reserve my judgement! There are actually plenty of other 'correctly' formed fonts like Century Gothic and Lucida but CS is the obvious, although lazy choice.

    Wasn't the_alba among the top posters as well, though?
    Edit: Ah, just spotted her. Silly me.

    I just tried to edit it into the initial post, but I couldn't find a way of making the image show up in a sensible size.
