So far I have tried:

OldTown, Barnum, and Playbill. I've tried Identifont and came up empty. The most distinctive feature on this font is that all the serifs are square, whereas fonts like playbill and oldtown have that fish hook serif on the foreleg of the 'R'.

I know I'v seen this font before.

Thanks. I hadnt noticed that the http had double entered itself..

I didnt want to post the whole image, since it seems to stick a wrench in the text wrap gears on here.

A real favorite of the western crowd. It looks like Playbill that has been stretched.

Monte, where are you? [Smile]

This must be the week for the troublesome fonts. Just how far do we need to go to get the "exact" fonts in question. Playbill would be close enough for me, the font in the example looks awkward ...I won't even go into the letter spacing [Frown]
