Hi,
I need to find the best match for Interstate and AT Egyptian, among the MS Windows default typefaces (i know Vista has some more - compared to XP).
What are your suggestions? I think it's quite hard, expecially for the egyptian :(
Thanks in advance,
Paolo

Arial Black / Arial or Impact for Interstate.

Ohm, I forgot Vista. Corbel maybe? None of these are very close though.

No good options - in XP might want to consider Courier New Bold for the Egyptian and Tahoma for the Interstate.

Cambria for Egyptian?

Trebuchet is probably closest to Interstate.

Providing your copy includes no 'g's

heh, g or no g, it has the closest character in my mind. Verdana in a close 2nd.

If they have Office on XP they might also have Rockwell as an alternative for the Egyptian

No, Tahoma is. Check the spacing.

OK. You got me there. Forgot about Tahoma.
