Looks like it got solved but if any of the WTF suggestions are close matches, then do a search to see if they were available reasonably (free)

I also seem to remember someone suggesting another better ID site, WhatFontIs, I think.

It just kills me when a  customers comes in with a crazy font and don't have a clue where they got it from or the name...and it came from there computer most times.

WhatFontIs, is a very good site.  I usually hit it first before going to whatthefont.

also, if you know the font name, throw it out here. Chances are good that somebody here might have what you are looking for. We have a pretty extensive collection of fonts here and I can lay out what you need and convert it to curves.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

Thanks everyone for the replies, sorry I have been backed up even getting to this art. What Font Is kicked whatthefont in the pants with this one, wow. That's a cool site and I will use it first from now on, never knew there was another font id site!

Whatfontis matched it up to Gentium Basic (bold) which is a free font, yesssss, matches perfectly.

Thanks Pierre, I will definitely post the font name if I'm searching for a specific one that costs a bundle, and I'll do the same if anyone else needs a font that I have in outlines that they don't have.
