El Greco.

Thanks a lot David,

But El Greco is expensive, and it does not seem a 100 % match.
Is there anything else that is close?

Thank you!

you're right. it doesn't seem a 100% match - the "f".

try - (but what are you looking for - script or swash?) -

* Admiral script

* Champion, Derby (designed by Gunter Gerhard Lange. by the way - he designed el greco)

You're right that it's not an exact match, because the A has been modified. Casaday & Greene has a font they called "Calligraphy" which has that modification. That in turn was 'borrowed' by SSi for something they called "Daniela" (see sample of El Greco and Calligraphy at http://bowfinprintworks.com/Script02Pg1.html). You might be able to use Fontseek to locate a copy of Daniela at a free site.

Thank all of you for help. I converted "Daniela" to Mac font, and proofed it to the customer. Hopefully they'll like it although "f" looks a bit different.

I appreciate you guys!!
