I was thinking that it would be great if we could all pool our resources for possible fonts to use for skinning. This thread would be a great go to place for this kind of information.

I was looking for an appropriate font to use for the serial numbers on Nieuports, and I found someone posting on the Aerodrome forums about this font:

Poster Bodoni



You can get it for free here among other places.

Does anyone else have any recommendations and/or links?

Ha!

I guess I miscalculated the interest of the Wings Over Flanders Fields community in having a one-stop forum thread for free and accurate fonts for skinning!

Oh, well, there are always some of us who are ahead of our times! hahaha

Anyway, I do have a question for any skinners here: What fonts do you use for German planes like Pfalzs and Fokkers?

In another thread I've been toying with the idea of making skins from the film The Blue Max, but I'd really love to use accurate fonts in these skins.

OH! I've been trying to find this thread since I saw it the other day. I guess I'm just blind, haha. I don't have any fonts, I'm afraid, but I was hoping someone might have a font appropriate for D.H.2 serials/text kicking around?
