I wish to make a label with the wording of a Bush DAC90A back panel. I've scanned an existing panel, but it's not good enough to try to clean it up, so I intend to create one in MS Word, though the little 'Bush' logo will be a challenge. I'm sure I can find a font which is a close enough match to the original text, but the font which states BUSH RADIO looks a bit specialised. It's very 'anglualr', all in upper case, but uses a larger ('versal') capital for the 'B'. Anyone got any ideas whether that font is unique to Bush or if it's out there somewhere in cyberspace waiting for the likes of me to download it FOC from some helpful font site or another? (Probably not!).
You could try doing a search for Font Download but you'll be spoilt for choice.

David,
There are various utilities in the net which will try to find a Font, for example

You give it an image and it finds the nearest. It works quite well, but I'm afraid your image is too rough.
Giving a bit of your picture produces a reasonable result, but not exact.
Of course, it may have been produced by the Bush DO.
Come on Joe, let's have a decent picture.

I never thought about appealing to a DAC90A aficionado for a nice copy - I'm labouring under a bit of a handicap as someone who considers DAC90As to be landfill! I just need to try to knock out a half decent label for a repro back as an example of what can be made on a router jig. It occured to me that DAC90As are so commonplace and the backs so often get damaged with heat from the mains dropper, that it might be helpful to someone if I made a replica back on the universal slotting jig I'm desiging to include in the article I intend to send go to the BVWS Bulletin editor for consideration.
I could just make a blank back but thought it would look better if it looked like a replica - painted brown with a label - not half-finished.
Maybe try and get a better scan then take it to a rubber stamp maker, you could then stamp 'em out by the shed load and make some cash.

Ok, I'm on it.
May as well get a bottle of Old Empire while I'm out of bed.

I think the picture before the Old Empire is probably the correct order of play, unless you need it to steady your hand

Slightly tidied, though David's better at that than I am:-
