Cheryl Taylor - Abstract Fonts

Oct 9th, 2006

By the way, everyone... Let me clarify something. I am looking for a legal to use font similar in feel/look to the font in question. Not necessarily an exact match (although closer is better.) I do NOT want an illegal knock-off... I'm not asking anyone to incriminate themselves by pointing me to one. If the only answer I can receive here is "There is no legal to use similar font to the one in question that I'm aware of" I will be satisfied with that answer, and will truly appreciate the help. ( Although I obviously will prefer it if you DO know of one. ;) ) Thanks all!! CAT *PS.. this is the last time I will post on this topic if I get no further reply... :) I just thought maybe this info needed added to my request. - re: Lost Font - Sentry Black

No ideas of a free alternate for a broke mamma? - re: Lost Font - Sentry Black

Yes, since my business has made less than 100$ in a year so far, and my husband just got laid off, and I have a 18 month old to support... Yes, I do. :) Every font I have is a free font, that allows commercial either by adding a link, or I have received permission from the creator to use it. Those last ones, I will give the creator something for when I make the $1000 a month or more some shop owners do.. but as you can see, I'm still far from there. (I HAVE made progress... most of my $100 is from the last 2 months.) - re: Lost Font - Sentry Black

the logo up top also uses the 'sentryblack' font. - re: Lost Font - Sentry Black

All of them. :) the page, under the links has shirts that use the font. If you need a wider sample, the links go to other pages with other designs, all use the same font. - re: Lost Font - Sentry Black

Hi everybody... I recently had a dying hard drive.. My husband was a sweetie who backed up my PC for me, and changed to a different hard drive. He forgot to back up my fonts. :( For the last few weeks, I've been seeking out my missing fonts as best as I can, But I cannot for the life of me find some of them. The latest missing font is : "SentryBlack" You can see an example of it in the text on these designs. http://www.cafepress.com/ballnchainjm If at all possible, I'd like the exact same font, so that I do not have to redo my shirts, but a very very similar one may work for this design, as not much was done in raster. Any help will be appreciated! - Lost Font - Sentry Black

Thanks for the info! As per the second drive idea... Best as I remember from the last time we tried to do that, hubby didn't have a cable with 2 sockets/plugs (whatever they're called) and couldn't find one to fit our machine... so he decided to do this pc only by backing up completely and then restoring. I really want a second drive anyway... but that'll have to wait until I'm making more than $90 in 6 months. :) More RAM is my next priority... My PSP really doesn't like the large images I work with.. (sigh) But enough with the off-topicness!! Again, thank-you I'll check those other fonts out... and hopefully redoing that text won't be as difficult as making it the first time, now that I've created the fill, and have had to figure out the technique previously. - re: Lost Font - KarinaBlack

Oh crud. :( Thanks for the answer... That page for some reason isn't opening up for me.. But the price is probably dearer than I can manage now anyway. Maybe I can get my husband to jury rig a cable to be able to pull my fonts off the old dying hard drive... But on the other hand, If that font is now only available for pay, I might not should be using it anyway... I don't know under what license I found it before, but I sure thought I'd wiped out any 'non-commercial allowed' fonts out, except for a few that I was given permission to use. (texas and texas2 for instance.. another couple fonts I'm currently missing... but I emailed the 'iconian' who created them requesting his webpage address so I could re-download) Koeiekat, do you know of a free similar font then, so I can redo it? I liked the clean and simple look, but not too simple, with wide enough lettering to add the fill into without it looking TOO busy, best as I remember, is why I chose this one. {and in case you're wondering why I worked in both raster AND vector... When I just used the "fill" in vector, the pattern did not go straight across... by filling a raster selection of the font (enlarged by a couple pixels so the edge was invisible) it had a much cleaner look.} - re: Lost Font - KarinaBlack

Thanks for the answer.. and two problems. :) 1) I have no money, and cannot BUY fonts yet... so I can't buy Korinna Heavy... I've made 90$ since february of this year. (most of that in the last 2 months, so getting better) 2) My images in their workable format include both vector and raster layers of the text... lots of work was put into the raster layer that I would have to completely redo if I replaced the font, even with a better font... So I really need KarinaBlack back. I know I've found it twice online... But I'm not finding it anywhere now... I was kind of hopeing you font gurus may know where the actual font I'm needing is. :) - re: Lost Font - KarinaBlack
