I'm looking for a font called WallDog, but it doesn't seem to be available anymore. Can anyone help me solve this mystery?

Isn't that a LHF?
Love....Jill

It is Jill, but I don't see it anywhere on the site.

Edited to say, I guess I should call them up. I just wondered if anyone knew the story.

Helvetica Bold condensed all caps, maybe a quick drop shadow?

While looking for your font Russ, I found this neat site. Go to Ohio Barns for a treat. I particularly like the ARTISTIC BARNS.

I actually found this site that lead to the Ohio Barns site.

That is cool Laura. There is a covered bridge on the site that is about 2 minutes from my house.

Lately the LHF website has been a disaster. Broken links everywhere, and no phone number to call.

Hi Russ. The last time I ordered fonts from LHF, Chuck mentioned that they were in the process of converting all fonts to a newer updated format, and that the previous ones wouldn't be available as true type fonts. Perhaps this is why that font isn't being shown , but may be a phone call could get you what you need.

...and the letter in that article was written by my dear friend Bill Berberich, with whom I have had the pleasure of painting a barn and a few walls!
Love....Jill
PD
Russ, I'd just give Chuck a call.

Ken, I can't seem to find a phone number on the site. Do you know of one?

The font is similar to Ironmonger, so I'll probably buy that one and modify it.

661-951-1939. Russ, I know that many of the older fonts are being updated and redone. If you need a particular word or set of letters, I'd be happy to do it in walldog and send you an eps or .ai of the file.

I just ordered a font from them last week. They don't take phone orders anymore. The new font format only allows you to install it a couple of times before you have to pay again( some kind of new lic. deal.)The font file is no longer a TTF. file, but some new format that can't be seen by your font manager. At least that's how I understood it.

Hmmm. No more phone orders. Unreliable response from the email system. Incompatibility with font managers. Incompatibility with some operating systems. Paying again for the same font. No more Type Tester. Broken links on the site for months on end. It all sounds like a great recipe for increased sales.
