kohlenklau Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hey anybody,Even if you cannot actually do the photoshop stuff, your help is needed! Can you please examine available fonts online (dafont dot com) and compare to ww2 photos and make some suggestions of fonts for vehicles?Thanks for any help! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IICptMillerII Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I did a little bit of digging for you and while I wasn't able to find a specific font used by the Germans (the reason I kept reading was because the numbers were hand stenciled on, and changed a lot as the tank transferred around between units and such) I was able to find these two websites that might help you:Downloadable German Fonts:http://www.germancorner.com/fonts/More German fonts with examples:http://www.morscher.com/3r/fonts/fraktur.htmHope this helps!Note: I did not download anything from these sites, so I cannot confirm if the downloads work or are virus free. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Downloadable German Fonts:http://www.germancorner.com/fonts/More German fonts with examples:http://www.morscher.com/3r/fonts/fraktur.htm Some of those would be okay for signs, posters, and stuff like that, but I didn't see much that would be applicable to vehicles. I have an idea or two though, let me do a little searching.Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) A google search under the terms ww ii german tactical signs for vehicles turned up some interesting symbols but no fonts so far. Can you be more specific about what you are looking for?Found a heap of stuff here, don't know if it would be what you are looking for—ww ii german fonts for vehicles.Michael Edited February 3, 2016 by Michael Emrys Additions 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IICptMillerII Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Good point Michael. A little more digging got me this:Gives good descriptions as well as shows that the font itself changed a bit, 832 being a good example of that. Also seems to give a font, under 745. DIN 1451 Font.Here's another image that comes from Flames Of War:I used this image of a Tiger Tank:to look around on dafont.com and I think I might have something that could work: http://www.dafont.com/stencil-cargo-army.font?text=231&af=on&back=themeIt lacks the outlining that seems to be somewhat prevalent, but otherwise I think the font is pretty close. DIN 1451 seems to be on dafont.com as well: http://www.dafont.com/hun-din-1451.font (There are two samples, but one of them seemed rather squished so I went with this. A simple search will get you the other if you want to see it though)Let us know if this works!

kohlenklau Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Thanks so much to everyone for the help! I downloaded the "din_1451" font and will use that mostly from now on...I might also do some tweaks to make them look stenciled! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
