Well, I'm a little late, but Neil was right on target in post #1.

The font in question was indeed included in the "Fluent Laser Fonts" collection by CasadyWare, which later changed its name to Casady&Greene, and is now defunct. It was known as Dorovar Carolus or just plain Dorovar.

I believe it was digitized by the late Richard Ware, but I'm not sure if the design was by Robin Casady, the other half of the company.

I'm not providing any links because Richard Ware's fonts were withdrawn from the market after his death because of copyrights disputes with his estate, so any downloadable copies you find may or may not be legit.

There are many sites that claim it to be a freeware font, but I don't know how they come to that conclusion.

In any event, it is far from a good example of the better Fluent Laser Fonts.
