Very nice, bee. If it is bad form to ask a person the name of a font he is using, then pretend I didn't just ask.

I agree with Collin, Veeeery nice,
That's it...that's what I have been wanting to achieve.
absolutely nailed.

Love the buff pages.
Is it OK if I go searching for that font? ??
Gee I'm really glad this thread went where it did.

i have Win XP SP2. If I go to c:/Windows/Fonts then in the File drop down menu there is a choice that is 'Install New Font'.

Or, if it an exe extension after the file name you could just double click on it and it may install itself.

Thanks Puzzler,
boy what a trip around the world that was.
Each time I downloaded I coundn't find the zip file, it disappeared.
I ended up extracting it from site and manually loading it.
After that, not quite what I was after, so will seek another font
Thanks for the instruction, next time will be easier.

Rod, I have Firefox 3.6.4 and in the Tools drop down (or pop up) menu under Options and then under the General tab it has a place where you can tell it where to download files to as the default location.

I imagine Internet Explorer has a similar thing.

I know I cannot improve on BeeSee's perfection,
but I have chosen "FluxArchitect" for my font

http://www.dafont.com/flux.font

And will give it a go on my Vasco da Gama work.

It fits fluidly into MSWorks on which I do my
wordprocessing, albeit at the moment, I cannot find
the apotrophes.

There is no lower case (which is OK by me)
I think it is going to look good on Buff paper if I can find it.

That Font looks great Rod, better than my hand printed! I think I will try it "Every Stamp Issuing Entity" pages.

Thanks for the encouragement Guys :)
Like a lot of things, I was just about to give up when I found it.
Makes for easy reading.
I liked it so much, I bought the company.
(No I didn't :), but I donated to the author)

What the... do you guys think my Tuvalu Postage due page is a REAL font, I just re-read the thread sober. That is my hand written page from the days when I was drafting!
