Font Identification Request: Not resolved

Hello,

I'm trying to solve a puzzle and have been given a hint by someone that to solve it, I need to find the font used.

I have googled all morning to no avail!

I'm not really even sure what keywords to search as I am not too familiar with fonts.

Does anyone recognise it?

If not help me with some keywords to google so I can spend some time manually looking for it.

Cheers,

Dianne


Hello,

@Dianne

No. You need the alphabet and the letters. What you call font is just a digiatalisation of one possible representation of the letters. :-)

Alphabet! Letters! Don't care about the font. Ok, I go on ...

Does anyone recognise it?

No. But the letters causes a deja vu. But it's not the alphabet I used to know.

If not help me with some keywords to google so I can spend some time manually looking for it.

Keywords: signal(ing) flag, semaphore

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_semaphore

But this alphabet is only losely based on it. Just try a statistical analysis based on the occurency of the different signs/letters. It's the base method for this kind of soft crptography. Also try social engeenering ...

bye bye

Yes, I recognize it.

It appears to be Dancing Men by Martin Bergman.

Hi,

The first two lines are typed as:

Thank you guys for finding it!

I think I ended up doing a statistical analysis on the puzzle to get it to make any sense.

First line reads:

A short stroll..

I'd totally forgotten I found these forums.

Consider this thread closed. :)


Hi,

what's the solution and the way to it?

Raw text and look-up-table?

bye bye
