If anyone is interested enough to play copy & paste with the bits then good luck to them!<br /><br />I plain white flag is a bit dull, I agree - I'm likely to include the odd image of the Virgin or a rough Bourbon cross or something. Only mark on the "Flag of Turin" is evidence of the same lettering on the other side, slightly below that on the side we can see - does that suggest it was embroidered? - painted? I guess these things were put together by the women of the town, so quality might vary depending on the talent available (that didn't come out right...).<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />TonyMSFoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470241067504971068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-64159036053686243522012-02-21T04:15:41.002+00:002012-02-21T04:15:41.002+00:00I think that you have found your font !

One can fiddle quite freely with letter size ledding in some graphics programmes (I use Illustrator once again) but this would be quite fiddly to produce all the irregularity you have obtained by placing individual letters, and one would need to leave a space for the reversed N (what does that signify - the dipthong n ?) anyway. You would be no further ahead using Illustrator. And, in 20mm, almost all of this detail will be invisible anyway, as you note. <br /><br />Jim<br />I'm sad to hear the flag was actually white. The stained coffee or sepia or whatever almost gives a Shroud of Turin like quality to the flag . You could paint what you wanted us to see in the background!Jiminhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163197311165054930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7111053985478999734.post-70494264471552475232012-02-21T00:53:20.752+00:002012-02-21T00:53:20.752+00:00Well done, M.
