Does someone knows the "Property of Dr Jones" font they use on the crate?

Look up 'Stencil'. It's one of the old military-style stencil fonts. From that, though, I can't tell which.

Well, doing a font lookup...

It's FritzQuadrata from BitStream (stylized a little), which, sadly, isn't a free font. I don't know if there's a clone of it.

For anyone still looking for the opening credit fonts for Raiders...

I found some free fonts to download:

For the "RAIDERS" part of the title, use the "Village" (called "Prisoner" on the website, but downloads as "Village") font found here:
http://www.dafont.com/prisoner.font

For the "OF THE LOST ARK" Part of the title, use the "Acens" font found here:
http://www.dafont.com/acens.font

That's the best I can find...Acens seems pretty accurate...while Village is missing the outline. Friz Quadranta is without the outline, also.

Color

No I am not making this up... in Microsoft Word, type Indiana Jones in the font called SF Fedora. Then do the WordArt that matches the slant the closest. Then, right click on the text and do Format Word Art. Then click the color blue arrow on the side of the color bar and clisck fill effects. Once on that screen, click two colors. Then you can choose yellow and orange. Hope this helps!:whip:

That's true, of course, but do you notice when the question was asked?

Great font! Now how do I get the correct color shading on the text in photo shop?

-B :whip:

I'd love an answer to this, too. I'm a photoshop amateur and I got kinda sorta in the ballpark, but far from an exact match.

Any help, folks?

p.s. - Vance, I had no idea you created those fonts! Bravo and thanks!

I don't look at the date the post was posted. But other people might be looking for an answer and stumble upon it...

Download on the right.

It's called SF Fedora Titles

Does anyone have this "SF Fedora Titles" zip file? I tried saving it and unzipping it, but I got an error each time I tried. The error I get is "Unexpected end of archive.":confused:

Edited: Ok nevermind. I opened the file rather than saving it. By opening it rather than not saving it, I managed to unzip it.

I just recreated the Raiders title in high-res and thought maybe someone is interested in the fonts used.



For RAIDERS I used the free font Caeser Open.

For OF THE LOST ARK I used the free font Microgramm:

Those two fonts are just look-alikes! They ain't the real ones used in rotla, lc and kotcs. For OF THE LOST ARK they originally used a font called "Eurostile Extended 2", but that one ain't for free. I used to know the original font used for RAIDERS, but I forgot and can't find the website where I read it. :(

*sigh*

SF Fedora is a pirated version of my font 'Adventure' (www.pixelsagas.com/fonts) , right down to the choices used for international and special symbols. That's why I can't stand them... bunch of credit-stealing thieves.

The secondary font, ("Temple of Doom" text) I have on my site as 'Adventure Subtitles'.

For the intro screen...

I'm not sure what "Raiders" is there. It looks like a stylized version of a stock font, though.

"Of the Lost Ark" is Microgramma Extended.

Just wanted to say thanks for making the fonts Vance, I used them recently for a few videos on my youtube page.

Excuse me that mine ain't perfect! Geeeez! I was just foolin' around with it and did not claim that it's "accurate". :rolleyes:

BTW: I mentioned the thing because of the look-alike fonts - because I thought someone could find them handy sometime.

Thanks for posting it, tocksic. Those are good close enough fonts, and I appreciate it as I will use them for the opening titles in the next lame little fan film that my father-in-law and I put together.

Aparrently, the font that should be used for that is called: Penumbra

I doubt that:

The R isn't rounded at the tail, the A doesn't have a tilted apex, plus its crossbar is lower, and the S has vertical serifs.
