Thanks guys. He sent it to me during the night, it is actually called disciple. All I could find for disciple font was a bunch of Hebrew looking gibberish. Thanks again Mike

Hey Fred, where can I find "chaplet bold". He wants the company name italicsized, and the one he sent doesn't have an italic option on the font. I tried to envelope it in corel, didn't work too well. The diskus is about the same too, but still no "italic" option. Can I make an italic font, out of a regular font in Corel? Thanks Mike

Chaplet and Chaplet Bold are from an old archive of fonts released by Varityper when it attempted to transition from photo typesetting machines to electronic type. It is a clone of Diskus which is the industry standard name. So is the font you named, Disciple, a clone.

Diskus was designed by Martin Wilke in 1938 and exhibits many traits of modern script and brush typefaces. The informal and energetic Diskus is a script and brush font for daily use and the capitals can be used as initials mixed with other fonts. Diskus is particularly good for titles or texts in middle to larger point sizes.

There is no italic version of Diskus which is not unusual since it is a script and has a designed in slant. Italic is most commonly a font family variation in serif fonts where the letterforms are actually different from their roman counterparts as in this example. Note the addition of tails and other changes beyond just slanting the glyphs. Also shown is Diskus with 20 degrees of slant added.



So whether you use Diskus, Disciple or Chaplet, there is no "italic" version. You can add slant to please the client but beware the wrath of the ghost of Martin Wilke ... who would surely disapprove of distorting his designs in such a fashion. :ROFLMAO:

Thanks Fred. The reason I was asking about the Italic version is, this guy has an italic version printed on his cards, and he wanted the truck window to match. I can make it Italic Bold in word, and trace it in Corel, but this fellow wants it dirt cheap, so I'm not going to expend a whole lot of energy on it. If it looked like it would lead to more work, maybe, but this is mail order. Plus I've got enough troubles without pissing some ghost off. Thanks for all ya'lls help. Mike

I don't understand why you would take that path of reinventing the wheel. Why would you not just apply a slant to it in CorelDRAW so at least you have the original vectors?
