Mine is called Sign O The Times. I never saw the "Girls are Weird" title whenever I've had it. Dawnation.com used to have a lot of the fonts for download too.
I have 1999 Purple Rain Parade Sign O The Times Lovesexy Diamonds and Pearls 
The Gold Experience Chaos and Disorder Emancipation NewPowerSoul Crystal Ball The Truth Hit N Run Tour 2001 Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic One Nite Alone I think that's it. I also have The Artists Symbols, and the Socrates Xperience fonts which house the symbols like ,  , and others.
Some of the names on the www.dawnation.com site are a bit different. And the Mistral font is closer to Purple Rain than the Still Time font is. [Edited 6/18/09 11:47am] | |

There isn't a Sign o' The Times font. There's various fan-made approximations of it about that you can download, but a genuine font doesn't (and can't) exist, as the original album's lettering was actually hand drawn. | |

Well THAT then becomes the font. No, it's VERY different from a 'font'. A "font" has a set appearance for each individual letter. So every capital "A" is identical to every other one, as is every lower case "a" etc. The lettering on Sign O' The Times isn't like this. EVERY letter is slightly different, as they were all done by hand. i.e, the "s" in "Sign" is different to the one in "Times", which are different again to the ones is "Sunshine" or "Housequake" etc. This means it's technically impossible to accurately recreate the lettering as it appears on the album as a 'font' as you'd need an infinite amount of variants for each letter. You can make a fairly good approximation though, by using capitals and lowercase to give you 2 variants for each letter, but this will never look quite like the real thing however well it's done. | |

The font that I have is called "signott.tt". It doesn't seem to include the Peace Sign (used in the "O" on the album cover). Anyone know of a font that includes this Peace Sign as a letter?
