I have identified this font as “Skin & Bones”, apparently a VGC font designed by Douglas F. Jones. I have not been able to purchase it anywhere. Does anyone have any idea where this font can be purchased. “BuyFonts.com” has it under the name “Skinny” for Windows machines, but I need it for Mac.

If it’s Mac OS X, you can use the Windows Truetype version.

Buyfonts.com sells the old Fontbank collection and I think that their ‘Skinny’ is about as legitimate a version as you are going to find.

Other versions I’ve seen have been Duo Line by Weatherly Systems (WSI) and Twinkie Display by Southern Software SSi). Both were wholesalers of ripoff clone fonts and, at least in SSi’s case, are pretty much out of business because of that. I mention these only because it seems like they had Mac versions of “their” fonts.

It seems to me, too, that there is font conversion software out there that, for Mac users anway, is free. Another option.

I should have known that. You’re right - it worked.

Thank you.
