Could someone point me towards the font that is closest to the official material? I need the body text font. I'm using Dominican for header fonts.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Arno Pro, http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/adobe/arno or javascript:void(0);/*1288147202036*/

Excellent choice!

Readability seems best at 11-12 point.

Thanks,

A long time ago on a forum far, far away I was told that the WFRP 1st Ed used Caslon Antique for headings and Garamond for body text. I’m no expert, but it looks similar to what is used for the texts in the current edition.

You're spot-on: 1st edition WFRP did use Caslon Antique for headers and Garamond for body text. It's quite a "fat" (rounded) Garamond; looks like ITC Garamond to my eyes... http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/itc/garamond/ or javascript:void(0);/*1288358574292*/ (sorry, still can't seem to post proper links here).

2nd edition switched to Dominican for headers and used a "skinnier" Garamond for body text. It looks more like Adobe Garamond to me... http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/adobe/garamond/ or javascript:void(0);/*1288358663096*/

And 3rd edition retains the Dominican headers but switches to a modified Arno Pro for the body text.

Great.

Thanks to You all.

I'm just creating my own Fan-Website with some documents and was looking for the right font, too.
I'm creating Critical Tables for Each Body Location and Weapon Type. Hmm, Sounds a bit like "Role"hammer

That's ROLL hammer.

And trystero - try highlighting text that you want to create the link inside of. Makes for less of those javascripty errors ^_~

I've got a wierd situation. WORD '07 is not displaying my Arno Pro font correctly after the first usage..looks like re-install time for the font.

Along the lines of funny adaptations (Roll Hammer is a good one) are some that I'm mindlessly posting:

Warhammer Old World Role Play WOWRP

Call of Warhammerthulu

Warhampire the Masquerede

Smallhammerville the RPG

Hammer Trek (copyrighted by Paramount..I could be arrested just for saying it)

..ok, those were lame..but Starbucks makes me crazy when I drink & post!
