wanted to know where i could get the font used by kirupa on this site, the font used for the navigation buttons along the top of this site and forums (home, tutorials, kirupalab, forums, about shop and user cp, register etc.)  
i would like to download it for FREE if possible, i checked out flashkit but there are SO many fonts, i was wondering if anyone (kirupa?) knew the name or where to get it.

thanks

I believe the font used on this site is called “BitDust Two.” You can search around for it.

If you’re typing it out and saving it as an image from either fireworks or photoshop, make sure you have a 10 pixel transparent margin all around the text.

For example, if you’re in photoshop, type out the word, make sure the background is transparent, go to image \> canvas size and add 10 pixels all around the text.

I use this method and the text remains crisp even after being converted to an swf.

When I use this font, I sometimes get weird signs…  
At my PC it is named as ‘04b\_03b’ I think that is the originell name. I forgot the URL of the guy who did them all…
