This may seem unrelated to SR, but it actually is: does anyone have a
TrueType or Type 1 font called Tribe-Regular? It's the font used for the
page headers and numbers in SR3.

It actually looks to be an expanded and distorted version of Bedrock. If
you have a good page layout program you ought to be able to replicate that
effect using Bedrock.

Nope. It'll look a _bit_ like it, but that's about it; I want to have
something that looks exactly like it, not just at a glance.

BTW, I've found out that the name of the font is actually Tribe, not Tribe-
Regular. Now Lady J, I happen to know you've got lots of Type 1 fonts...
;) I don't suppose you could check to see if you have this one?

I looked through all my fonts, plus the font sites for Adobe, Letraset,
Bitstream, Linotype and a bunch of smaller font foundries. They've never
heard of it. How do you know the name of it? Can you ask the source of that
info where they found it?
