Nope look at the 'c' in both of those fonts, completely different.

Is that meant to say Cordova Bay?

c, a, r, o etc.

But I believe Cordova Bay Golf Course logo started as Cabernet Sauvignon BA

Hmm, that's one font I don't have.

Try a look at Chardonnay....also a Bob Alonso font & ITC Berkely Old Style

You put us all to shame Tiki. I have Californian FB, and Bold, but not Roman. Dang.

Isn't Californian just another name for Berkeley (Old Style)?

A closer look at the two will show the differences in the stems and bowl/stress etc.

OK, thanks, Rex...

Interestingly enough ... I'm testing a new font ID program and it had Californian as its top choice while Berkeley OS didn't even make the list.

Do tell.

Do tell.

I will be posting a review in due course. It's a very interesting product that addresses most of the shortcomings of my FontFinder™ program as well as the FontExpert program that we distributed for a while. Most importantly, it is much more user friendly than either program I've mentioned. It has one serious shortcoming which isn't much of a problem for me but would be for most users.

Stay tuned.

I find it interesting that it did not include Berkeley OS. Is it that precise?
I'm looking forward to hearing more about the new program.

 

[Colin]

I guess I haven't been paying attention; I'm not familiar with FontFinder or FontExpert.

A brief history?

It may have had something to do with the quality of the original sample. Using your samples with the same letters the program finds both in the top 15 matches and ranks the 4% different depending on which sample is used.

4%.......it gives you a percentage of match/difference?
