If someone could find me a link or a way to get the font for my nes controller it would be greatly appreciated. I fount a website (logo54(dot)com) that will do the word Nintendo just fine, but the start/select, a/b is completely different than what its supposed to be. PLEASE let me know ASAP!  |

Hmmm, couldn't find an exact font, this is the closet I've found: http://www.fonts101.com/xt_fontdetails_az_FID!7455~EuroseWide_Heavy~font.html previewWith a little modification, it could work for you. |

yeah, i found that one too, but the A comes to a point, and I dont know how to do the modifications (Im computer dumb, my skills are mainly in crafting, and minor electrical things lol) and the preview you had didnt work, it just said page not found. If you could help me out with making the modifications thatd be really cool. Btw, got all the buttons painted and the lighter grey part painted, just the black and the dark grey!  |

a high res scanner or a program to blow it up without pixilating it

You could scan the original in high resolution and vectorize the letter shapes in Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop, then scale them up to the size you need, and you've got it. That being said, it's a lot of work. Somebody has probably already made a vector version of the NES controller faceplate graphics. Try digging through Google. Also search for "Nintendo Font" or "NES font" and see what you find. |

I got it all worked out, I typed the stuff in to the font website, saved the image, and then zoomed in on it until it was the actual size I needed. Then I taped a piece of notebook paper to my screen and traced all of them out and.....KAZAAA!!! stencils without the use of a printer or photo editing software!!!! lol man im creative |
