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

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. :)
