[Rhett J Martin]

Hi gang . . .
My searches turned up nuttin'
can anyone either help me get ahold of a subsitute or copy of the Font Morpeth Black? I'm not going to drop 60 bucks for 15 characters on a paper prop . . .
Thanks in advance

If you condense Ariel black ( smush it ) it is pretty close. that is a basic font.

That's how they get you to buy them , when really you can play with them on Illustrator and do any of them.

Type each character and give it a test run they are 388 point samples and plenty good to do a vector tracings of...

Want it bigger, well use a little trickery...

In the above url '&rt=1' is the character so replace it to '&rt=A' to display A and '&rs=388' is the font size bump it up to whatever number you want, up to about 510 before it crops

That's a really cool bit of "trickery" there, Exoray. The code you posted seemed to go to a thinner version of the font, though, but just changing the font ID number to '185624' will go to the Black version.

yep, just think of all you can learn by playing around in HTML.
