I'm trying to recreate some graphs for a friend of mine from data that he gave me. He gave me several examples of the types of graphs he'd like me to base this on. He is hoping I can do a similar style and everything. To do this though, I need to be able to match things pretty closely, including the font. I've looked through my fonts so far though and I haven't found a good match for it. So I was hoping maybe people on Hatrack could take a look at it and give me some suggestions.

Here's one of the examples. Caution though: the picture is 760KB or so, so if you're on a slower connection it may take a little longer.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions offered.

kat, I think, linked to a font finder web site some time back, where you could paste in an example and it would tell you what font it was. You might try googling for something like that. Or hope that she sees this in the morning. [Smile] Or maybe she was looking for the font, and someone else referred her to it, I'm not sure. Either way, such a thing is out there for the finding.

Good luck!

Thanks for the site. I can't find an exact match for it, but I may have found something similar enough to it.

And you can never go wrong with Comic Sans.

Why is it important to recreate these graphs? The one you posted looks like the raw output from a mass spectrometer. Generally speaking, I don't know of any reason that you would have to have that instead of just replotting it some other way.

There are a variety of ways to make publication quality plots, and none of them look like raw printouts.

Font:
1. a receptacle, usually of stone, as in a baptistery or church, containing the water used in baptism.
2. a receptacle for holy water; stoup.
3. a productive source: The book is a font of useful tips for travelers.
4. the reservoir for oil in a lamp.
5. Archaic. a fountain.

Hope this helps.
