The Font in the old WEG books (except Dark Empire).
Does anybody know the type they used?

Yeah, I've got them listed somewhere. I used to have them on this computer before my hd crash. I'll post what they were later.

Okay, the Star Wars books were done with the headers in Eras Demi (bolded) and the normal text was done with Chelthm ITC. Neither of those fonts are cheap. I've checked.

I've found them for legal download for about $30 each.

I'll tell you what, to help you on your way for purchasing the fonts, I'll give you half of what people have donated for the community projects such as the conversion guides and the D6 magazine.

Granted, half of nothing still gets you nowhere. Smile

I checked, and if you have Microsoft Office 2010, then you have the Eras Demi (bolded) font available. Not so for the other font, but I've found a little trick to get it. If a pdf has the font, you can highlight the text, press Ctrl-C, go to a Word doc, and then Ctrl-V, you'll get the text in the other font. Then you just do a format paint on whatever text you wish to have in that font. The font won't be added to the list, but it'll be available for you.

So, are we trying to get a hold of the fonts for one of the fanbooks?

It is little conversations like this that make me love this site. I've had this homebrewed adventure for the past 15 years, and as I try to make a official looking module to put on my bookshelf the fonts can make a big difference. Thanks!
