What is the name of the Classic Amiga Font?

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.

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...

[ChaosLord]

Is Bodoni XT a TT font or a PS font?  Or both?

[Lord Aga]

Wouldn't know
I can send it to you, and you can check it for yourself

[ChaosLord]

I sent u an Email just now. (not a pm)  thanx!

[Lord Aga]

Done and done

[ChaosLord]

thanx u saved my life

[Lord Aga]

Aw shucks
Glad I can help an Amigan brother in need

Any way i can use this on MS word? Is there something similar to it?

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?

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

Ruby (bitmap font supplied with WB since forever) always looked about right to me... once bold and italic were applied of course!



PPaint has done something weird to the scanlines there, but you get the idea.

wait, it's not Topaz?  

A good Times New Roman Bold Italic will do.  I'm familiar with Bodoni, its lower case seems to be far off from what the original amiga typeface is.

[amiga-penn-wchester]

All caps of course.

The original Commodore-era font was ITC Garamond.

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:
