Meat Loaf Font

**Monstro** · 12 Feb 2007, 20:09

Anybody help???

I'm trying to find a font as close to the "Meat" style I can get but not having a lot of success, anybody know of one?

I seem to remember reading somewhere that there wasn't one but the writing was a mixture of fonts, though I'm probably wrong on that.

You're spot on Michael - the Meat Loaf logo is made up of a variety of fonts, and because of that there's a copyright on it.

Not sure about one's to get the usual Meat Loaf logo, there's one that's quite similar to the font used on the Dead Ringer vinyl single...

I want to do some stuff on leather but need a font for a pattern

LucyK! · 12 Feb 2007, 20:30

(not that I'm saying this on a public forum, but ) can't you print the logo and use it as a template/stencil?

Many thanks Caelan, did a search and led me to a site for free fonts that had it, and a couple of other interesting ones.

What am I supposed to do with this font once I've downloaded it? I just get a winzip file on my desktop. Where do I extract it to so that I can use it in word docs etc? Soz if this sounds a bit thick, but I'm not the most computer savvy guy around... my talents lie elsewhere

Extact the zip file into your Windows/Fonts folder, the font sholuld then appear in the font list in word etc.

Don't worry, I'm the same, tried to have a discussion about my wireless internet connection the other night...wasn't happening! My talents definitely lie elsewhere!

You weren't alone Shaun, cheers Andy lol

Right, I did that, but it still wasn't showing up in text documents when I clicked on format and font, so I went into Windows>Fonts and noticed that the 'read-only' button wasn't ticked when I clicked on Properties, and it was for all the other fonts, so I clicked it, and hey presto! It works!

Does this mean I'm learning?

*AndyK* · 12 Feb 2007, 22:03

Yep ... we'll make an IT geek out of you yet

Yep I had to do the same!!!!!!!!!

The Deutch Gothic one will be the one I use, just got to change the capital "T" as it doesn't look right but the other letters are a near enough match.

**RadioMaster** · 12 Feb 2007, 22:47

Ben · 12 Feb 2007, 22:47
