What is the font ...

[Sonofkirk]

What is the font that is used in this kind of "banner" ? Thanks : ).

Well, I don't know the real font/value, but if you read BlackPT's ''Guide to make your own Newgrounds messages'' you'll see he proposes using this:

Font: Arial | Color: #e4b814 | Size: 13 pts | Bold

In my opinion, the color is a bit too dark compared to the real one, but everything else seems very similar to the original.

You will notice that it's not exact, but it's similar. The only things that look different are his color choice, and the fact that the fonts in the original have less space between them.

Thanks a lot man. I knew that BlackPT made a guide but I forgot to check it before asking :P. Thanks again for your help.

YAY! Someone remembered me!

Anyways, I do think that Arial is the font, just because that almost everything that isn't Telektual (the Newgrounds tank font) is Arial or Tahoma (not sure about the last one)

Actually you said : Font: Arial | Color: #e4b814 | Size: 13 pts | Bold.
Mine would be Font:Arial, Helveltica, sans-serif. Most people see Arial.

First off you did not take into account that another font could be shown on a computer without Arial installed, then you got the colour wrong and used a point size for the font.

A point is determined by taking 1 inch and dividing it by the ppi(also known as dpi), mine would be 0.0033 inches. It's not a good idea to use a measurement that is designed for the printing industry for a font that only going to be displayed on screen as that will change the depending on people's Photoshop and GIMP image ppi/dpi settings.

Pixels do not change and work much better.

I got my results from the computed style of the element using the Firefox DOM Inspector. This is more accurate in this case as it shows the result of all styles, colour and formatting applied to the text and is different to what you said.

Forgot to mention that the calculation above of my point sized is based on my 300ppi printer.

Thanks for all your help guys, your tips were very helpful and thanks to them, I just finished my new banner :3. Thanks again.

I was going to mention that, but I know sonofkirk use windows, and windows has Arial installed.

I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR STUPID CALCULATIONS YOU FOOL.

That's cool. (?)

YOU SPENT TOO MUCH TIME HELPING OTHER PEOPLE.

Also, everything in this post from the second quote is a lie.

I think after the second "thanks" there's no point in keeping this thread open
