Does anybody know what font is used for Sirens? I tried to use the search but could not find it?

And if you know where to download it?

Definitely a Helvetica variant, at least.

no offence Daver but tell me where is the difference between the two types of fonts! take care

oh! and somethinf more - we know that arial is Saville's favourite font!

Helvetica = Arial

Linotype own Helvetica and the licence fees were too high for Microsoft, so they cloned it and changed the name to Arial. So Macs and OS/2 have Helvetica, and Windows has Arial...

Sounds like that should have been followed by a big court apearance!

Yeah, he used it already in the last three releases (Get ready, Retro and International)...

It's definitely Helvetica. The "R"s are different. A Helvetica R has a 'straight'leg, wheras an Arial R has an angled leg. There are subtle differences between the two fonts.

Makes sense, Saville is likely to use Mac's being into design.

The differences are the reason MSFT avoid getting sued. Same with my font vendor (Bitstream). My default font - Bitstream Swiss 721 is basically Helvetica also, just kerns slightly differently.

Jaysus, I can't believe I'm talking about fonts at 3AM on a Saturday
