Itsa lot easier for everybody (especially you!) if you go looking for a free font.

http://www.blacksunsoftware.com/fontlinks.html lists some free and some shareware sites
http://www.dafont.com/ believe these are all free fonts
... and on .... Google is your friend.

The problem is that I don't know the name of the font.
I have 5000 fonts installed and none of them match.

Try WhatTheFont http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/
or Identifont http://www.identifont.com/identify.html
or http://www.dafont.com

Don't get discouraged, I've got hundreds of thousands of fonts and can't find what I want all the time. Also, submit an image of the font to some font forums such as http://groups.google.com/%20group/comp. ... cs?lnk=srg and maybe they can help.

ps 5,000 fonts "installed" is too many. I have around 150 installed. You can open up a font which temporarily installs it or use MainType to control short term/longterm availability of your fonts.

The requested URL /%20group/comp.fonts/topics?lnk=srg was not found on this server.

maybe I can post an image on this forum so someone can recognize it ? or at least some similar font ?!

You can attach images to the forum. As long as its not too big, its much more convenient. Use the upload attachment tab below the reply box.
