my copy of this font is corrupt:

Futura Condensed ExtraBold Oblique

If I gave you a line of type could someone convert it to outlines and save as a .pdf for me?

Not sure what it's worth - Copy of KR?

I'd call it Italic.

I can always 'tilt' the standard font...

The font I have is not a Windows type so can't send it. But I can type, italicise, convert to curves and save as .cdr/.jpg/ or poss .pdf.

Thanks - It is for a brand - so give it a little while and see if someone has the exact match or I'll take you up on that. Cheers.

You can download (but have to pay) here
Looking at it, what I can do will end up identical anyway.
WTF is up with commercial fonts that have been around since 1920 and still being charged for?

I actually have a licenced copy of it somewhere on CD.
Got it with Pagemaker 5.
That would be about 15 years and 5 crates full of CDs, Zip Drives, syquest cartridges drives ago.
