Is there is a site / font help

So, I am wanting to use a font called GGX88 Light for a project. I am trying to reproduce the font and font size from the end credits of a movie (to insert my own text over it). I checked a dozen websites yesterday in regards to that font, but none can help me with how the font is in the end credits: outlined. And none would let me even change the color from black.

See example of a cropped screen grab:

Is there a website (normal or some new fangled A.I. thing) that can do something like this?

Or somebody that is willing to help do this?
 
but none can help me with how the font is in the end credits: outlined.
When you say outlined, are you talking about the black part around the lower right edges?
If so, you can just use the drop-shadow function.

This is a super quickendirty test just using Arial and no attempt at accurate spacing or blurring to match the existing shot...

Edit: If I can help out with this just let me know. What are you doing to The Bunker?

The help would be appreciated, Tosk.

So, what I am trying to do is changed something up. This is a screen grab of what I want to change:

Here is a blank:

I want to keep the same file type (png), keep the same font sizes and placement on image.

But I want it to instead read:

Music Composed
and Conducted by
JOHN BARRY


With the credit above his name centered (two lines like I got it).


The reason, for those who want to know: John Barry had a score rejected for the TV movie. Rights and/or tapes issues must be what has prevented it from being released.

A few years ago we got a treat when a copy of the film surfaced with Barry's score intact. However, the end credits still reads Brad Fiedel.

I want to make a suite of the rejected score for people to hear, and I want a credit that reflects what it would have looked like.
 
This is my first crack at it. The text isn't at the same angle as the original yet, and only partially matches the vintage artifacts of added text. (Also the sizing isn't quite exact yet, but unless it's put side-to-side with original text I think it's pretty close.) Before I go at it any harder, I wanted to ask if this is the full size of the image you'll be working with, and if this will be used as a still, or if you need the text as a layer to put over moving video.
