It was a good attempt at pootling,

but ultimately the N was just too much.

Damn that N

It'll haunt me for a while..
I can usually make my own letters pretty well using bits of other ones (the T used to be an L..) Bu N reall sucks ass with these fonts

Yeah,

it's always hard when you're making a letter totally unlike any provided. But pootling is strangely satisfying, and often ends up looking better than using a different font.

haha

use the right slope of the A for the N!
/currently doing the same thing....

The slant may not be enough,

abuse of the top of the y could result in something useable though. You'd probably have to fiddle with it a while to get the look right.

The trick I find

is that if you can't find the right font, choose one that's vaguely similar (and squeeze/resize as needed) and then re-write the whole thing and it'll look far better
(the Notting Hill Gate one below is a good example)

(Scary, Sun 24 Oct 2004, 12:46, archived)

Yeah, that can work.

But on complicated backgrounds where you don't want to remove the original text, you sometimes have no choice.

go to whatthefont

they will display a png file of any letter of the found font, so you can nick the few you need without having to buy the font
