Original 3E Dragon / Dungeon Title Font?


Dragon Magazine General Discussion


Hi!

This is my first post on these boards; I've been lurking since I first heard about Pathfinder (so about 3 years now).

I've recently been trying (with no success at all) to find the font that was used for the titles of Dragon and Dungeon in 3E before they went to the "balloon type" titles that I never really came around to liking. Yes, the one with the "3" superimposed over the "g". If anyone can help me out with this, it would be greatly appreciated. And yes, it goes without saying that I'm willing to pay for it... if the price is reasonable. I would expect it to be a commercial font anyway.

Thanks in advance!


One more thing that might help: I know the font was mentioned in the front pages (either the letters or the editorial) of one issue, but I can't remember the issue number and I can't find it with Google; my post-250 PDFs are homemade, and so are not OCR'ed (and therefore not searchable).

Thanks again!


Never mind; found them! The fonts are named at the beginning of issue #277 in a sidebar at the bottom of the letters page. (I decided that it was as good a reason as any to go back and flip through my actual magazines... I do miss getting new ones every month!)

For the convenience of others, the names of the fonts used in early 3E Dragon are: Wrongfont, Replicant, and Sloth (among others; those are the distinctive ones).

Now I'm off to see how much getting these fonts will cost me...

WOW. Still ghostin'.


Could someone try replying to the post that has the answer? Maybe I can see it that way.


There's an answer? I don't see it.

Edit: flagged post for a display/markup problem, maybe staff can help?


Thanks, Brian. I swear this morning a new post showed up and I could see there was the beginning of an answer with cursor preview, but not in the thread.

Thread is poked. Think the post you're looking for showed up.


JSL Ancient was used in the three core books from 3.5 .


Thanks, pals!


Yes, thank you very much!


And of course Liz actually got us a cool free font. Somebody stop me from redoing my CV...
