    type faces are a speciality of mine, if you give me the full details

    i'll see what eventuates (got about 10,000 in store)

    btw: the DIN code is irrelevant in the type face world (but may be peculiar to Deutsch)

    look for the maker prior to DIN

    Thanks Quiggers

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_1451

    DIN 1451-2: Schriften – Serifenlose Linear-Antiqua – Verkehrsschrift. Deutsches Institut für Normung, 1986-02.

    Can you also see if you have "FE-Schrift or fälschungserschwerende Schrift (falsification-hindering script)"

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FE-Schrift

    Regards

    Update* maker prior to DIN was Linotype.

    okay,

    that makes sense

    its an old linotype face

    and you've answered the question

    ANTIQUA

    if you dont have it, i'll fire up the ancient mac and pull it over (if its still about), and i think its a tt - mac here... and it will be pre OSX...
