    1. [MarinGenSoc] looking for a computer font that resembles old newspaper fonts
    2. Jerry Moore
    3. Has anyone ever seen a computer font that is designed to look just like the old newspaper printing? The linotype machine was invented in 1884, but still most smaller newspapers used individual fonts that were arranged, jammed into place, and every "e" and every 'b' looking slightly different and some of the "b's" and some of the "e's" were filled in and none of the letters looked perfect, like they do on computer fonts. I want to transcribe an obituary and have it look more like it did in the original paper. Jerry D. Moore --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
