I've been trying to find DS fonts. Anybody know where I find cheap, or better yet free DS fonts?

I forget what font the "ark hadows" part is, but the D and the S are in Old English, which is a commercial font, not free.

I think Proud's right.  Anybody else wanna 'Name That Font?"  Somebody sent me one called "Devil's Night 3" which was really close.  I'd suggest just browsing any Free Font library you can find.  (And I won't even get ON my soapbox and talk about what a misnomer the 'Old English' font is.  That kind of thing just makes me crazy.  "Yep.  Just sittin' around the meadhall with Beowulf and the guys.  Practicing our calligraphy.")

They have a font on page 10 that's actually named "Collins" by "the Scriptorium" but it's a demo from their website, not one of the free ones apparently.  But there are plenty of free ones there that would likely fit the requirements.
