Hi

Can anyone help me identify the name of this font and where I may be able to
get it.

Perhaps you misspelled the file name. Perhaps the file was loaded into
the wrong directory. Perhaps the filename has upper-case letters in it
and the server is case-sensitive (I didn't check to see what you are
using). Perhaps you posted before uploading the file and I looked before
you had a chance to upload the image file. Perhaps the image is a *.gif
image and you mistyped ".jpg" out of habit. (Note that in the case of a
font sample, a *.gif file would probably be better than a *.jpg as it
would likely compress better and without lossage of image quality.)

And lo, Norman L. DeForest didst speak in alt.www.webmaster:

Lynx is not reading the URL of the image correctly. It has a space in it
(%20), view the source.

FWIW, I quickly checked a couple font sites for similar fonts, but didn't
turn up anything.

If you don't get an answer here, you might try this site:

or one of the NGs dedicated to typography.

I get the same error with the "www.".

As another poster pointed out, when I viewed the page source I could see a
space in the filename. That *should* be coded as "%20":
<img src="helpfont%20copy.jpg" width="356" height="88" />
instead of the space you have:
<img src="helpfont copy.jpg" width="356" height="88" />

These RFCs all agree that spaces should be escaped as "%20" and that
un-escaped spaces (or any unescaped whitespace, for that matter) is
subject to deletion before the URL/URI is used:

I spent about two hours looking at fonts on the Internet and failed to
find that exact font (but found a lot of other eerie fonts).

The "Spooky" font listed on this page is similar to the font you're
looking for but not quite the same:

Thanks for the help guys.

Appologies for the cock-up with the jpg. The job was rushed and I left a
space in the file name, giving a few problems viewing the image.

My quest continues.

Not that the folks here are unable or unwilling to help, but have you tried
alt.binaries.fonts.identify or comp.fonts or any of the other font
newsgroups? You might have better and faster results there. There are
people who live and breathe typography, and you're more likely to find one
there.
