Need Help Finding A Font

Post by SpaceBooger »

I'm looking for a font similar to the one used for the title of Final Fight.
Any suggestions?

Try Brush Script MT in MS Paint. It comes a little close (at least to the blue 'Final' in the first game's title screen.)

I looked through my 794(!) installed fonts and didn't have anything close. No luck with a quick googling either.

I had no luck either. Searched through a few thousand.
Try these:

Here's my attempts at making the fonts submittable to the second site:

Lets see if that second site Anapan mentioned pans out.
