Zoltar Speaks

[Ramsey]

Ok, I've already made the fortune card from the movie "Big" that Josh got from the Zoltar machine...but I would like to remake it since I was never very happy with my badly done "your wish is granted" writing on the back of the card. Does anyone here know what font that might be, if it's available online to download or something? I'm sure if I took my time I could just rewrite it, but I'm too lazy, I guess. *lol*

Closest font I can think of is called Persia BT.

If you go to the following link you can type in a phrase in this font at 72 points and grab a jpg of it. Should be a good size for your card:

I think it looks great just as it is.

Do you have a capture of the real one? Your one looks just how I remember it, so now you've got me wondering what the differences are.

I've got it somewhere, on a floppy disc, I think.....I made that one back when I had my old computer that didn't have a DVD player built in, so I wasn't able to get a sharp, clean screenshot from the disc....instead, I played the VHS tape on tv...paused it and took a picture of the tv screen with my digital camera....I used that image to print out and hand wrote it, basically tracing it onto another sheet of paper, scanned it and printed it onto a card with the Zoltar image on the other side. It wasn't neat, but it worked....was never really happy with it, though...if you could see the card close-up in person, you'd know what I mean.

Awww. Maybe you're just being too critical of your own work?

I think I have it on DVD somewhere, might take a look if I get a minute.

I made the wish card straight off of screengrabs and tweaked it in photoshop a bit.I printed them on high gloss double sided paper.
