#1: Get the actual font used. It's called Masoch-Dirach, and it retails for around $30. It's been retired at most of the major font retailers - suspiciously, I noticed, right after Eberron came out. Coincidence? Conspiracy? ;) You can find it if you spend a while digging, though.

#2: Get a rough copy. I found a link online to a sendspace download (http://www.sendspace.com/file/bhf6jj) of a Masoch clone, by Erik Wroblewski. It's not quite right - the 'q' character, in particular, yelled "that's not the Eberron font!" to me. But then, I pay way too much attention to fonts, and for a clone, it's a pretty good job. :)

Hope one method works for you. Good luck!

04-02-07, 08:31 PM Fantastic! Thank you very much! I'm a bit of a font-geek, but not all that picky (or desperate to spend $30 for it...) ;p

The overwhelming pickiness may have kicked in 'cause I'd just spent thirty minutes combing over the Eberron font with a fine-toothed comb to see if I could identify it. Now that it's faded, that clone's not looking to bad to me, either. ;)

Well, when I created this version of "Eberron Font", I just scanned the font on original books, worked them a little in Photoshop, and put the images in Font Crator.

The treeshold of this program is not quite good, but worked well. Since I am brazilian (and in portuguese language we use a lot of characters) I worked in a a bunch of accents to use in latin laguages.

Now I am working in a new version, with all unicode characters.

About the Q, its the same in the word Q'barra in Eberron Campaign Setting.

;)

For anyone who wants it, here is the link: http://www.sendspace.com/mysendspace/files.html

PS: Since the Mrs. Evans Font (the one used in the text of Eberron products) is a hard work (to "clone"), I am using Bakersville Font in its place. Its pretty good. If anyone needs it, just send me a email to gwynnapnudd@gmail.com
