Hi. Does anyone know the name of the fonts used in the printed manuals of Champions of Krynn and The Secret of Monkey Island?
I would like to try them in my Windows ME/W2k Desktop Themes.

Anyone used the original Diablo's theme before? It looked cool with the cross in the letter 'O's, and so on.

Though Windows XP and Vista have their own charms, the Classic Win9x/W2k Desktop Themes have their own charms too.

Thanks for any information!

I can only remember the name of Diablo's font: Avalon Quest.

Found the fonts used in SSI's RPG manuals, thanks to ChrisTOTG - [Answered] Font Info Request - Fonts used in SSI Gold Box game manuals?.

Now, looking for the fonts used in the Monkey Island 1 manual.

I see only one font in the MI manual, and it's this: https://www.whatfontis.com/NMY_Post-Ant ... Island#ct

Or a free clone which looks close enough: https://www.whatfontis.com/FF_VI-Luc-Bi ... Island#ct

Thanks for this! Is it the exact font used in the manual or something similar?

Also found this - https://fontsgeek.com/fonts/Post-Antiqua-BE-Regular, which looks like those in the manual too :

Thanks again!

Yeah, was just going to reply with that one - it's got both regular and bold styles, and the metrics/punctuation seem closest to the original. 😀
