Herb, I'm very appreciative of your comments, observations and feedback (e.g., the link not working)...
(a) I fixed the link. (I 'inserted' a space between 'dot-ai' and 'AluminumSign' and it works now) ... don't know if this is of any use now since you've seemed to answer my question about the font.
<http://www.customcutbuilders.com/CCB_Logo/CustomCutBuilders_AluminumSign> .ai
(b) I note your identification of the font (which, you are correct, is what is on the home page of CustomCutBuilders.com) - I'm not sure at this point how to obtain that 'missing' font ("In this case Univers Oblique and Univers Bold Extended are the missing fonts.") I'm not sure what it, the font, was replaced with, so I still need to find something that will work for the reworking of their website... I admit I am showing my novice level here. ... I will do a search on the Internet for this missing font. Obviously, it's not on my system.
(c) Finally, there are at least two ways that I understand how one goes about identifying fonts:
[1] Submit it to a website which does this identifying (you offered a site or two)
[2] Submit a request for identification on a forum such as "typography" here (with a working link to the file) ;-)
[3] Learn this stuff myself with working in it
Anyway, I'm very grateful for your (and Neil's) help. ...
I know I'll have more questions. I'm comfortable dropping in here to ask them. (I've experienced no sniping and that's a relief!!)
Cheers!
Glen
