Bodoni XT :)
Italic, of course.
I had to do the research and find it because I wanted to use it for the title of my book :)
And use it I did...

Quote from: ChaosLord;718449
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.


Hmm this is a tough one really. Looking at my A600 the G certainly looks a bit different. But then again, it looks like it has one row of "pixels" shaved to get in line with other letters. It's really thin on the bottom. I'm stumped really :confused:
