Aviation fonts

Post by pilottj »

Hey guys,
I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread for aviation fonts. Good fonts are important for registration numbers, Squadron #s, placards...etc/
Please post links to suggested fonts for painters. :)

This a good set of free fonts to have. I frequently use the Amarillo USAF font for N-registration #s

To install fonts, unzip the font files to your /windows/fonts folder.

Cheers

One place I tend to go to a lot for fonts is: http://www.dafont.com/

It may not give you specifically what you are looking for, but in the long run you may find it very useful.

I can second "dafont". Funnily, I've actually found some of the same ones, as you link to on the "bobsyouruncle" page, on Dafont.

The RAF fonts on Simmers Paint Shop are authentic and I always use them. Don't know about the USAF ones. Get them while you can!

I have used the font: USAAF_Stencil for the markings, it's nice and gives "open" letters and "closed" aswell. (as in the A2A below)
