Name that FONT!

[lempson]

Hello all and Happy Holidays! I am creating a project that has to have specific fonts. I finally figured out that the main one is Belwe. (It has a very distictive crosswise line on the W) But now my predicament... in the original project the Belwe Font is in italics but I can't for the life of me figure out how that person did that as my Corel 6 book doesn't show that it can be italicized? Any ideas?<br>

Perhaps they are using a newer version that allows for italicizing that font. Also, I would not believe that your book is the definitive source. There are web sites out there with free fonts, try looking for it. Fonts come from different sources, not all are copywrited (or whatever) and perhaps they used a font that looks just like Belwe, but comes from another source under a different name.

Are you sure the font you seek is italic?&nbsp;&nbsp;Some fonts are created with a normal, italic, bold and bold-italic version.&nbsp;&nbsp;Some fonts are not.<br>A true italic font is not simply set at an angle. If you have a true italic, the letter forms are completely different.&nbsp;&nbsp;The intention of an italic is to make bits of the text stand out by making the letters appear more like a handwritten notation.<br>Try the normal version of Belwe but skew the text 10 to 15 degrees.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is not a true italic but it may match your original.
