Looking for help finding TrueType fonts [View all]

Hey, so I am trying to find a font for a gravestone (my dad’s) that matches the font on another stone my mother likes. It has to be TrueType for the stone carver and I can’t 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 don’t know if they’re TrueType. I’ve also seen lists of TrueType with the style demonstrated in the name of the font (I.e., can’t type in the words I need to sample).

FWIW, these are the fonts I found on WhatTheFont that came close to what we’re 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/

https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/insigne/mandrel/cond-regular/

Thanks for whatever help you might be able to offer!
