Looking for help finding TrueType fonts
Hey, so I am trying to find a font for a gravestone (my dads) that matches the font on another stone my mother likes. It has to be TrueType for the stone carver and I cant find a website that will let you type in words to see what they look like in only the various truetype fonts. Or is there another DU group that would be more appropriate to post this in? Been trying to get this done for a family gathering tomorrow.
I used https://www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont and found a handful of fonts that could work except I dont know if theyre TrueType. Ive also seen lists of TrueType with the style demonstrated in the name of the font (I.e., cant type in the words I need to sample).
FWIW, these are the fonts I found on WhatTheFont that came close to what were looking for, in case anyone knows what TrueType font would be the closest to these:
https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/hoftype/candide-condensed/light/
https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/rmu/gmuender-antiqua-pro/regular/
https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/canadatype/roos/roman-sc/
https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/andrey-kudryavtsev/imperator/imperator/
https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/insigne/mandrel/ext-regular/

Thanks for whatever help you might be able to offer!

The rest are also OTF.

but it look like a times new roman, copperplate, or a garamond would suit the bill, and should be easy to find in tt.
doesnt the carver have a font like that? seems like it would be a go to.

(29,536 posts)Maybe Garamond would work... but the site Im looking at has a lot of Garamonds and I dont know how to know which ones, or all of them, are TrueType.
