Font question

Can anyone identify this font please? I have used it in v10 of Vegas Plat. and can't seem to find it in v11. The font size box remains active and allows for use of the mouse scroll wheel to quickly pick a suitable font size but with the font itself it doesn't appear to work this way and entails clicking away on the list one after the other and this is becoming a real pain in the butt.

It looks a bit like Lithograph, Lithos or Liddie Black.

Thanks for the replies guys. Very useful link there Chienworks, however, I read it as Lithos Pro Regular which in fact doesn't appear in the font drop-down list in v11 (new style text) but does appear in the legacy text drop-down list. Is there a way of copying fonts from the legacy font folder over into the newer version as I rather like some of the effects that can be achieved with it and it doesn't appear as though Vegas is using system fonts if Lithos shows up in the font list for v10 but not for v11. Using Windows 7 by the way.

This is rather late, but the problem you are having is that the new titling gadget doesn't list Adobe Type 1 fonts, and your font is almost certainly a Type 1 font. Windows natively supports both TrueType and Type 1 fonts, and the legacy text tool recognized both, but the new one doesn't … or didn't.

The good news is that this has been fixed in Build 283. Type 1 fonts are now available for the new titling tool. But there's still a problem, in that the fonts are rendered correctly in the titling window, but not in the actual video event itself. I just submitted a bug report for this. In the meantime, you'll have to use the legacy tool if you want a Type 1 font. (But there's a bug there, too, in that the legacy tool won't render typographic quotes correctly, whereas the new tool will!)
