Fonts in FFGs Star Wars RPGs

By GM Hooly, in General Discussion

Does anyone know what fonts FFG have been using in their RPG lines?

There was some talk about this in the earlier days of EotE, possibly during the Beta. I'd recommend a forum search in the Beta archives and/or in the main EotE forum. At the very least, you might turn up some community members that could point you in the right direction.

Doc, the Weasel does a nice job with his Begging for XP handouts, although I admit I haven't critically compared them side-by-side with the official material.

Due to a HDD crash and other stuff I can't be sure, but I'm pretty sure I came close with at least some of the fonts in Cartol's Emporium.

That mean you can't remember the fonts you used Jegergryte? Even the main body text one would be useful..

I use Avenir Next Condensed, I think it's a reasonable match for the FFG books. Not sure if it's Mac only though.

It's in the pdf I think :ph34r:

Here's a screenshot of the list from the pdf. The ITCSymbol is the main body text I think. ElektraLight/Medium is the headlines and stuff.

All correct.

Yeah. You can check out what fonts are used either by looking in the Preferences section of your PDF viewer, or by copy-pasting text into Word. The latter usually tells you the name of the font and some of the formatting choices (like text size).

Yes, specifically ITC Symbol Std Book. This is a very close match for the font in the FFG books. Thanks all :)
