Hi Everyone, my client has specified a font called "Capitals" that came with his Mac OS. I've searched several font sites with no success and can't post a picture of it because I don't know how. I'm using Windows XP. Any suggestions?

Thanks Rick. When I click on the link it takes me to the home page of the website. Please could you tell me the name I need to type in to search?

Nope I can't find that link. I even checked the other sites I frequent, I'm sorry. Is that what you need?

Thanks for trying Rick. He's anal and has rejected several similar fonts I sent him. I'll talk to him again tomorrow. Appreciate your time.

The top image is Lucida Bright Demibold Italic in 96 and 72 point type. The bottom is the original posted by Ray. It is very close and could easily be node edited to match if all you want is to have a vectored version of the logo.

If, however, you need the font named Capitalsthen you need a copy of it from a mac and it can then be converted to a PC version. It should be noted that Capitalsis a true Small Capsfont. You can see that the stroke boldness is the same from letter to letter, where in the Lucida Bright version, the smaller letters have a correspondingly smaller stroke.

Thanks everyone. Including the education Fred. I now have a version that I can modify. Really appreciate everyone's time and helpfulness. Oh, Doug, about your question, "ouch", because I've spent hours on this at no charge. Need to learn to add extra charges when extra work is involved. Right now just want to finish this job and hopefully never see this guy again
