The font, or more accurately, the glyphs, in trg1[r].grf.

Tahoma, 8pt, bold.

At least, that's it with FontRenew.

New Century Schoolbook Roman (sort of).

thank you, I narrowed the font to Century Gothic but but not size or style, so could you help me compare?:

Na, it´s definitely not Century Gothic because that´s a sans-serif font.

I think m3henry is after the font seen on all windows, buttons and messages other than the News.

No offence, but why do you want it?

No offence but you seem to dig up somewhat older topics, keep in mind that people left a thread with a reason.

Don't dig up a topic if you really don't have much to contribute to it please.

Sorry

Just like the site so much and Forget where I get to

No worry, as long as it's constructive to the thread (like you have a sollution that hasn't been found yet or a new problem that may be a real deal in the future then you might want to dig up a topic instead of posting a double thread.

Just don't get too excited about old topics and you'll be fine.

Whey! Henry!

Haven't seen you for a while.

I throw a guess that the non-serif font was specially created for Transport Tycoon by manually drawing the glyphs. However, I don't know where I found this in the past, I couldn't relocate it with Google, but here is a bitmap font file that works in Windows with sizes 8pt and 15pt to provide the small TTD sans-serif font as well as the big serif font.

Newer graphics programs may not support the font, but at least Paint Shop Pro 4.12 lets one to use it for graphics.

And sorry for pushing up the old topic, but I found this with Google and had to reply
