Small queue this week. We're back to identifying fonts outside of Toontown. I have a few more in-game that I need to figure out, but those will come later. Enjoy!

#fonttown #lintsec #this was a PAIN IN THE BUTT #the ONLY reason i could even get font ID tools to read this #was because i used the french localized texture instead of the original #the french texture was double the resolution

people come here for toontown but they stay for the unnecessary amount of effort that goes into finding 20+ year old fonts and unusual details found in the high quality textures such as the fact that bill gates exists in toontown and he has 80 gazillion dollars

Queue is loaded for this week!

Toon fonts are so much easier to identify than Cog fonts. Cog fonts use almost exclusively serif typefaces, and their whole shtick is professional, clean branding that most people associate with serif fonts. The problem is that serif fonts are the oldest type of...type...and have been iterated upon for hundreds of years, and frankly, there's just too many fonts out there in the world to be able to nail down one single font used by the Cogs!

There's all these really tiny differences in some of these typefaces that make a lot of fonts a really close match, but not a perfect one. This can be exasperated by the low resolution of the textures.

I still try, of course, because I'm a madman.
