What is the name of the Classic Amiga Font?
« on: December 10, 2012, 08:44:37 PM »
What is the name of the font used to write AMIGA on Amiga computers, the A on the Amiga keys, and the font at the top of every screen of AMIGA.org ?

Many years ago I went thru my Postscript font collection and found a font that was the right one or "close enough" but I have long since forgotten what it was.  I feel so ashamed!

I am about to have a new keyboard printed so I needz my AMIGA Keys dammit!

Any PostScript or TrueType font will hopefully work.

It is a TrueType Font (.ttf)

I doubleclicked it in my windoze xp and it shows me a simple printout of the font.  In this printout the G looks wrong and dips below the baseline.  I donno if it is a bug in the font or just a bug in windoze xp rendering to the screen.

Aside from the G anomaly this looks like the Amiga font but only if you italicize it and make it bold too

Why doesn't Amiga.org have this AMIGA Bodoni font in their list of fonts to write messages in?  I guess that makes tooo much sense?  Having an Amiga font on an Amiga forum?

AMIGA

AMIGA

AMIGA

Georgia is closest I can get to my AMIGA 3000 keyboard logo using Amiga.org fonts.
