OOPs! Sorry, Freepers already on top of this. Per post 2568 here it looks like the purported Schmutz font may not be what DU claims! http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2306351/replies?c=2568



I can't find reference to the font on that post.
Is there another?
Thanks, -Verb

Search for Schmutz font, you will get some samples that include numbers 1-5 (at least). Compare those to the form, especially the 4. There are some other differences like the 5 on the form curls in at the bottom, but in Schmutz it slopes down at 45 degrees. It is definitely not Schmutz.

Sorry, you may be correct. I picked up in this in post 2513 and incorrectly inferred from the reference to DU in the post that it was a summary from DU.
