Some help with Trek fonts? Please?

A while back I seem to remember having a very thin version of the Trek font that was used in spelling out the title of the show "ENTERPRISE".

The "family" is either called "Federation" or "Federation Starfleet". (What I'm looking for has no outline around the basic letters themselves.)

This, tho', was a wire thin version of that lettering style.

I went to find it on my old computer, but it doesn't seem to be there any more.

Oddly enough, the one marked "Federation" is now coming up (even when I click on the font file itself and get the window with the whole font displayed) as a copy of the font "Federation Classic".

Could my computer have developed some sort of major glitch?

Does anyone recognize my description of the wire thin font and know what it's called and where I can find it? (Believe it's freeware, so I'm not asking for any piracy help, thanks.)

I'd really like to find that font again. Thank you.
 
I wish, but that looks like the regular version. The one I'm talking about is wire thin. Much more narrow than that.

Someone said it's a form of Eurostile, but I'm sure I had it under a Trek name.
 
A litle more help with a Trek font? Please?

I finally found the "Federation" font I was looking for. (Looks like the lettering used onscreen for the title on "Enterprise", but the letters are wire thin.)

Anyway, earlier I had thought I had it, but when checking it on my old computer it kept opening as the Federation Classic font. Figured maybe I'd gotten confused and had two versions of the TOS title font.

I found this guy's website with a bunch of Trek fonts.

The third one down (the one under "Crillee") is exactly what I was looking for (from how it looks), but when I downloaded it and opened it, it opened as the TNG title font!!!! :rolleyes:

Would someone else please download this font and check it out and see if his file or link is messed up, or if there's something REALLY wrong with both my computers?

Thanks. :(

Do you really need a second thread? I'm merging them.

Do you really need a second thread?...

I felt I did since this was a separate matter. The first was "where can I find this font?"

The second was "Why won't this font I found work right?"

People who'd read the thread originally wouldn't have reason to look again.

Now, they'll ignore my separate request for help with the font I did find. It's been hours and there's been no response.

Merging the threads didn't help.

It ruined my chances at getting help with this. :(
