Thank you, Herb!

With your reply I had some brainstorms ...

1) I've uploaded the ai file to the server so it can be viewed and possibly someone may be able to identify it from the raw file. It can be seen here: <http://www.CustomCutBuilders.com/CCB_Logo/CustomCutBuilders_AluminumSign.ai>

2) I did see an 'eps' file and opened that one on my computer. Thing is, there was a "font error" with the following messages:

Univers-BoldExt - Default font substituted for missing font
Univers-Oblique - Default font substituted for missing font

I suspect the "missing font" part means that the font used for the logo is not on my computer. And, with the substitution, I'm assuming that the operative word, substitution, does no good for me in finding out the original font. (It's been substituted!) =8-)

3) If I can determine what the EPS file substituted, I can use that one for the new pages on the site. It may be just close enough that the common person (not you typography-philes) would not notice. (does this sound like a passable idea?!)

thanks again, Herb.

Glen
