That's a tricky one. It's been discussed before and as far as I know, no one has found one that's very close.

Hi bossarea,
Like a dumbass, I remembered the "search function" was again operational AFTER I posted this. Somewhere... I have a program to make font sets. I may have to take it upon myself to engineer said set. That'll be a helluva time burner.

Hi the-destructor

I guess it's a lot more constructive than belting Hamsters into outer space.

But then again, those Hamsters are just so cute....

I like my hamsternaut friends. It's my little way of getting back at NASA for not hiring me.

Hi to all,

W.O.G.@ these fonts are similar but not identical.

This is what BOSS replied to me months ago:

quote:
Hi Fabio,

We have checked with our Sales / Marketing department and they have told us that the BOSS font is a custom-built proprietary font which we are not able to release it for public use. Sorry.

Sincerely,
Roland Product Support


I've tried to replicate with a pair of programs to create fonts, but, also if I'm a quite good graphician, isn't so easy.

When I've created my pedals (one day I'll return) I used a font that was similar, but not so identical, it was just for a very little icon...
