I used a couple font identifier sites, but never found it, and the site I used to make the button with, does not name the font.

This page:
http://davidnewmanfilmmusic.150m.com/news.html


Banner that reads "CURRENT NEWS" -- that font, that's the one I am trying to identify.



For those so curious as to why, it's a free site I created and still run, and the buttons were saved -- back in my day of ignorance and not wanting to spent time fixing -- in a format that blured them, as you can see, instead of using GIF of PNG as I now do The site I used to create them, now wants money and for free buttons, they make them really small, so it nolonger works to use it. I'd like to not change fonts, or invest in a site that gets me nothing in return but the pleasure of doing it, especially not having a job as of current.


By the by, just why won't the drtop down menu work?

I don't know about identifying the font, but it looks like it could have been made with Microsoft Word Art.

The font identifier sites might do better if you edit out the shadow outline behind the red letters.

Thanks, but like I said, I've used a couple font identifier sites; using this new one, was just as useless, in fact even worse; all results, regardless of the latter chosen, was font with patterns, dots, lines -- no lettering.

These look pretty close.

You're never going to find that exact font because it has been dragged out back, shot and buried.
