I am painting some 50 cal ammo cans and am making my own magnetic stencils to paint the lettering with. I looked all over Microsoft Word to find a "military type" font, and the best I could come up with was the font Bauhaus 93. Is there anything out there that is better, closer to actual "military" font, for Microsoft Word?



Thanks,



Mike

Wish I was at home - I've got a couple of decent fonts that I used to make stencils for my Starlight rifle case.



If you haven't found anything by around 1100 tomorrow check back - I'll try to get you some names.

I found some stencils at Wal-Mart a while ago that had that style of font you are talking about. It wasn't exact, but close.

I have used these as well. some can be modified a bit to look better, like the 7.

I think fontfreak.com has some military style downloads.

Go to hardware store ––> go to mialbox number sections ––> buy card stencils for ~5$
A bit easier than making them

You can type "free fonts military stencil" into Google and a bunch of results come back for lots of fonts, many of which all look sort of like that.
Here is one-

If you can get a real-actual-example of a clear photo of this lettering style, it might be easier to find (-or make-). Try to find a photograph that has as much of the alphabet as possible.

The one that you want is called Browning. Somebody posted a download of it here on Arfcom a ways back.

When you hit different combos like shift then a number, you get little military pictures.
