Fonts?

Hi!

I´m looking for some of the fonts, that Prince have used on his covers. I especially want the fonts from SOTT, PR and Lovesexy! Does anyone know where to find it.

There are no SOTT or Purple Rain fonts, they were hand drawn especially for
those projects. There are some fan-made approximations of both 'fonts' out
there on the net though.

Unzip them then right click and copy the whole lot. Go into your Windows folder on your hardrive and there will be another folder called Fonts. Paste thmm into there and they will be added to anything that you type into...MAGIC!!!

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

Hmm that is strange - It should be rightthere on your hard drive in the same place as Programe Files, Documents and settings etc

Heres an alternative.

Go to your Strat menu and using the SEARCH function look for a folder called FONTS.

When it is found, open it and paste them in that way

Larabie Fonts has a free font called Still Time, that resembles the Purple Rain font.

Chank Fonts made one of the official Prince fonts used on the New Power Soul album cover.

The font used on the ONA studio CD is freeware but I cant recall the name of it (I think it has the word "clown" in it), and the one used on ONA Live is Vivaldi.
