he's the 'font' of all knowledge so maybe he's the knowledge of all fonts ;-)
Okay I know it's a crap joke but on this forum who'd notice?

Re: a witch has told you!
How the hell did you guess that!? Anyway, wrong, cos I've chosen MS Comic Sans in BOLD. Unless there are any better ideas.

Re: lettering eek
Massive task, too much choice
In some versions of word, you can do:
Tools/options/general tab/select "wysiwyg"
and then the font list in the toolbar shows the fonts in the actual font.
Or try buyfonts.com, especially www.buyfonts.com/samples.htm
also
http://home.att.net/~coralgraphics/letters.html
http://www.prismvinyl.com/styles.html
IMHO, need either bold rounded serifs like Bianca in buyfonts, or praps art deco like desdemona in MSWord or decollage or playmate in buyfonts, or I think Diana said a preference for no serifs in which case good ole arial bold?
Are they gonna bend the letters into a curve to fit on the garage door? Blimmin massive job this lettering mullarky....

Re: a witch has told you!
Shouldn't Diana be the one making the choice? Why take this onerous task on yourself?

Re: lettering eek
ooh jolly good. I am leaning towards MS Comic Sans else all too serious. Bit like the roundy styles. Also, only sticky on so not too big prob to change.
Ask t'wife? Are you mad? Anyway, everything is my choice since boatname is hers. She can use the kitchen stuff though.

Re: lettering eek
Lots of roundy less serious on the prism page, like 43 50 59 67
Why sticky on? Is eye-tie CNC flamecutter bust?
imho as you designed the kitchen, it's only right that Diana should work it

Re: a witch has told you!
cos otherwise it will be rubbish. Like the time she chose wallpaer with flowers on, and all the ornaments which had to be thrown away. Also, she thought that aston martins would be okay as a compnay car, "but I can't make make my mind up between that or a Capri". So, I make these sort of decisions, she does everything else.

Re: a witch has told you!
Caught me in the middle of wallpapering, I'll have to rip it all down now. Laura Ashley didn't tell me flowers were out!!
What about a nice piece of teak with fancy gold lettering, can stick it up on your office wall when you change the boat.

Re: changeable letters
Praps one of those dot matrix jobs, with red LED letters whizzing across, like on the tube platforms and suchlike. Then can change name whenever you like. Also can do messages like "eff off, you're too close" or when stern to-ed "party tonite 7.30 bring babe and bottle" or even a safety conscious "door opening, cross check", also "babes on board" to erm make other drivers slow down...
