i couldn't find the doom title font, i would appreciate if someone finds it for me so i can use it for me projects

Only took a half a minute of searching these very forums

Except he's looking for the large title font, not the menu font.
Which I don't think a font exists for...

[GreyGhost]

If it's the blue-n-gold title font your after - you'll probably have to create it from scratch.
I might have some similar looking outline fonts that could be edited to do the job.

[WillWater87]

does it include all the other letters other than doom?

[GreyGhost]

It should have the full alphabet plus numerals. As mentioned in my previous post - it's an outline font and won't be an exact match. The character-set will need editing to create uppercase letters that slope both ways. Once that's done the font could be converted to a Photofont with an appropriate texture and colour scheme applied to it.
There will be some work involved - first I have to find the font.


EDIT - We only know for sure what three letters look like. The rest of the font will have to be "interpreted".

[t.v.]

Making a font like that, sounds like a doom project on its own.

I recall seeing some old Doom related websites with logo's made from the Doom logo... can't think of the names though.

That "font" is only an artwork. You may see it on other Doom-like titles because the authors like playing with its face style. Also, M_DOOM for Doom 2 looks different to the one for Doom 1. Which do you people prefer?

I hope I'm not starting an argument with the mods on the definition of the word "font" and how some art characters can create one. :-p

It would be impossible creating an identical font with depth to it, as there would be no way of determining if a letter should show perspective from the left, right, or middle. Your best bet would be to show all letters as if they were viewed from one angle (probably straight-on).

Also, the M_DOOM graphics, in my opinion, look better than the title screen ones.

Is that the font you are looking for?

That's a good approximation of the menu font but AFAIK not what KarlBhalai is after.

Difficult (and very tedious) but not impossible if someone's crazy enough to make it a pet project and create complementary typefaces with different perspectives. What would kill the project is trying to mimic the 3D overlap of adjacent characters - that's probably best reserved for banners created with a graphics utility.
For a single perspective font I'd prefer one that appears to be strsight-on and higher up.

@printz - a font is-

• A basin for holding baptismal water in a church
  
• The oil reservoir in an oil-burning lamp.
  
• A complete set of type of one size and face.
  
• A municipality of the canton of Fribourg, Switzerland.

Bitmap colour fonts used to be commonplace in games but rarely used elsewhere because they're not designed to be scalable.

i wonder why they didn't even bother making a font

[esselfortium]

Because they only needed the letters D, O, and M.
