Does anyone know where to acquire "'Truetype Font Battletech Oldstyle".

Apparently Battletech and Classic Battletech websites no longer have them available for download.

Yes, I know there is a new one but I kinda like the way the M, and a couple of other letters, are done with the OLD style versus the new one!

OLD STYLE is shown in the MechWarrior Online logo at the top of every page
NEW STYLE is shown in my sig.

See the difference?

I have it. However it's on my computer at home. I won't be able to send it to you till I fly back to Belgium. Edit: Actually I'm not sure. But I'll check anyway.

One more thing for the the todo list. ;). The MWO font is a modified/updated version of the original. We still need to convert it to an actual font.

That isn't it but thank you for looking. That is the one that is currently being used in my sig, titles, images, blah blah blah (read: everywhere).

Would WizKids have it, or maybe Topps? I'm sorry if I just upset anyone with the question :D

EDIT: Or maybe Roc Publishing?

I have the font right here on my desktop. Getting it uploaded to a web site so I can link it to here. Most of the other on-line B-Tech fonts are all dead. Will edit this post in a few minutes with the link.
Try this...

Hope it works for you.

Just out of curiosity for us designers out here, will you be releasing a free version of the MWO modified font? I would love to be able to use it. Heck I would even pay a small amount to use it (or include it in my founders package ;)).

Edit: Guess I should apologize for the necro, but it's relevant and better than starting a new thread.
