    Default A Font My Kingdom for a Font!

    This is most probably not the correct place to post, but I'm dazed and confused and in dire straits so, please, bear with me.

    I have for several years had an AAR over at the paradox forums (last update here), but with my recent acquirement of a new PC I think it's time to make a new one. I want to make an opening splash screen in the style of Kurosawa's film posters, but I can't find a suitable font. Basically I would like it to look like this:





    I've been all over the various font sites listed in this sub forum and so far have had no luck at all. If anybody has a font (or brush?) I'd really, really appreciate it. Rep and bodily services in abundance is offered as booty.

    Are you trying to write something specific in kanji? Or are you just after the design?
