Hey all-

I seem to remember sometime back someone..maybe Kingpin, but don’t quite me, had made a [Nametag](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/gb1-name-tag-patch) font for the uniform. I was looking for something I could possibly download for use by a sewing machine that just does the embroidery automatically. It just needs the font to read from the computer. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

You are thinking of mine. 🙂

I have no idea how well they’ll ‘stitch’, as I’ve never tried to use the file to make a physical [nametag](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/gb1-name-tag-patch)…

They work rather well. Had some made using that font.

I really dont see why it wouldnt work. I was either going to use yours or if I didn’t find it prolly was going to use SF Movie Poster, a little thicker, same font used for movie poster credit blocks.

depending on your name, you may have to adjust spacing or use a different font. “Stanz” can have fatter letters than “Venkman” or “Zeddamore”

Not on with me. One is on my son’s flightsuit which it at his grandma’s and the other is on my friend’s suit. I currently have some from a user here. _cant remember his name_

Next time I go to his grandma’s, or Thiago’s, I will get a pic. (Thiago lives right down the road. it is awesome. XD )

It’s called ‘kerning’ and I’ve just done a semester having to deal with such things _wince_.

Sooo… this is 6, almost 7 years old now. The download isn’t working for me- any chance there’s somewhere else I can find it? (Or something similar)

Follow the link to Kingpin’s deviantart page for it:

[http://kingpin1055.deviantart.com/art/Ghostbusters-Nametag-30546639](http://kingpin1055.deviantart.com/art/Ghostbusters-Nametag-30546639)

There’s a link near the top right that says “Download”. I just tried it and it worked–the zip included the ttf file.

I guess it’s just my phone that won’t recognize the file. Thanks for being my sanity check!

That could be it. I’m on a desktop, and downloaded it just fine.

Not something I get accused of very often. :mrgreen:
