I know I'll get jumped but this lettering is NOT a font.
Actually it is a logo.
Otherwise every man's printing would be concidered a font. Print Shop and Clip Art has done so much to downgrade sign painters, artists and artisans' talents.
That's all, I go back to what I was doing...[/quote]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In typography, a font (also fount) is traditionally defined as a quantity of sorts composing a complete character set of a single size and style of a particular typeface. For example, the set of all characters for 9-point Bulmer italic is a font, and the 10-point size would be a separate font, as would the 9-point upright.
After the introduction of computer fonts based on fully scalable outlines, a broader definition evolved. Font is no longer size-specific, but still refers to a single style. Bulmer regular, Bulmer italic, Bulmer bold and Bulmer bold italic are four fonts, but one typeface.
However, the term font is also often used as a metonym for typeface.
