    Looks like there’s an EPS at the bottom of this page

    I think the font is probably Meta Bold

    Hi Rich, thanks for the quick reply, I got the rest of the graphics downloaded from this page, I looked through the archives and found your link from before. I get it in corel ok but I havnt got the text on file to change it. I need to put Hampshire instead of scouting. Ive got a disk with 20,000 fonts on it just need the name of it to go look.

    Regards
    Steve

    Sorry Steve, I think the only version of Meta I’ve got was FF Mt, the one without any vowels!

Employing obscure but powerful techniques like vwl mmssn and cap reduction, FF Mt uses up to 50% less paper, screen, and wall space than other text faces without a single condensed letter.

    Good luck

    Thanks George and Richard for your help so far. George I went through the link you gave me and I think the font needed is "Frutiger bold" same as on "scouts" and "be prepared". Guess what, its not on my disc so am looking for a download on the net for it. Just emailed the scouts to see if they can give it to me. As I am not one of their registered printers they are reluctant to help me out, I cant believe it as I am doing the banners for free to help out the boys local scout group. I think I maybe just be talking to a miserable "Brown Owl" My boys scout leader is called "Old Crow" I think they should change names.

    Cheers guys.
