Does anyone know of a font out there that loos like the font used on the Gotha's. I think the G III-GV was pretty similar. Has anyone ever noticed a font that was similar? I'm trying to do a specific serial number and instead of tracing it in Illustrator it would be much easier to just use a stock font from someplace......any help would be great.....

Try a Google search for "Germanic font", it comes up with a few pretty likely contenders...

I have had great luck getting fonts here for my decals.

Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place, I don't see anything close.....

Which vinyl cutter do you use? And can it cut out the Gotha serial ID code in your mock-up?
I'm still in the learning stage with my cutter, but I do need to get in the habit of trying new things with it.

We actually have a vinyl cutter at work we use for paint masks....I guess the next step is just making the data....

I use an Ioline cutter. Corel and SignLab for the layout.
It can cut the serial no problem , have used it many , many times for model work. My own and others , custom work , singular subjects only. The 'mock-up' shown in my last post was the final pen drawing of the work. I can swap out the cutter knife for a pen for checking prior to cutting material .
What cutter do you use?
I have two.
KNK Force and KNK Maxx Air.
The Maxx Air is used for vinyl masks and the Force (native software still in development) is used for multi-media work.
