Fonts help
« on: May 17, 2012, 09:00:45 PM »
I'm planning on doing a project and was wondering if anyone knew the name of the font or at least have an idea of what the font is used for NBC Weather Plus (including the title bars, temperatures, city names, L-bar fonts etc)? Thanks for any help...

Here's a pic in case you need it (sorry for bad quality)

I'm certainly not a font expert, but they appear to have some semblance of Arial to it.  I'm afraid a search of your Windows fonts will be the best you can do unless someone here has a better eye for this kind of stuff.

I think Patrick is right.  To me, "Albuquerque" looks like Arial Narrow, as does "Humidity" and "Winds."  The days of the week are probably in a standard Arial.  The temperatures look like a bolded Arial, or possibly Arial Black.  That's about all I can pick out.

Yeah, I had a feeling it was either that or some type of Helvetica font. But what about the city titles and temperatures on the map? They don't seem to match very well with Arial Narrow.
