Card fonts. Which for which?

Postby Geofonos » November 9th, 2016, 2:36 am

I have been trying to make a NA version of a new hero with a few custom cards for him but I can't seem to figure out the fonts that are used for the cards.
I have already downloaded the HeroQuest font pack but they don't seem to be just right or complete from what I can see. I might be wrong though.
What I have found so far is the following:

Character Card -> Hero class -> Romic Std Light Italic (has to be bolded by me).
Character Card -> Information text / Actions / etc -> Aldine721 BT

Treasure/Spell/Artifact Card -> Card Title -> Romic Std Light Italic (has to be bolded by me).
Treasure/Spell/Artifact Card -> Card Text -> Aldine721 BT or Plantin MT Light (Both look very similar but in my humble opinion Aldine does the work better).

The seem ok but they are not 100% right. Anyone else has found any alternative to these? I looked around the forum but couldn't find an answer and the HeroQuest fonts pack that includes the Master Font List has no reference for the cards either.
Thanks in advance for any answers. Cheers!

The templates that I have use the following fonts:
Treasure/spell/artifact - Card title: Romic. Not Romic Std as this is noticeably different.
Treasure/spell/artifact - Card text: Aldine721 BT

Character - Hero Class: Again, just Romic.
Character - Information/stats/movement/weapons - Aldine721 BT.

I don't have any hero cards, but there are plenty of spell/artifact cards that I have created using these templates in the link in my signature if you want to see what the fonts look like when they are done.
