Need to match this one for a project I'm working on. Seems like it should be simple, but I'm having trouble. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Told ya it was simple. Argh. Can't believe I didn't get that one myself.

Thanks for the help!

BTW It's the horrifying Adobe version with straight verticals.
Please don't use that one but go for the slightly flaring original.

Yves, thanks for clearing that up, I was wondering why it looked so strange!
Always learning..

I seem to recall that the Adobe originally included two versions on the diskette--the horrifying version and the normal version--and instructions about which version to use when.

Interesting -- the straight verticals are what kept me from identifying it myself. I'd usually recognize Optima straight away, but I didn't realize there was a "horrifying" version. :-)

Thanks!
