Default Porsche font

I named my new boat "No Substitute" but I would like to print it in the Porsche font. Does anyone have the font in a downloadable file.
Thanks, Matt S.

On the main Rennlist site, somewhere, there used to be a link to the True Type Porsche Font (for personal use).

Not to hi-jack the post...but is there someplace where I can find the Carrera script?....I am wanting to make up a deck lid decal similar to the Carrera RS decal...only a little different. I am trying to avoid making a copy of my emblem...reducing it...and then making the mods....if there is something I can generate on the computer it would be much easier.....By the way...does anybody have the dimensions of the Carrera RS decal (lenght and height)

The 'Carrera' script on the RS decal doesn't use a typeface. It's a piece of artwork a designer made. You just need to copy it wholesale.

Thanks Jack...any idea of the dimensions of the original RS decal so I can reduce mine to the approximate size?

48 inches from the left edge of the C to the right edge of the last A.

5 3/4 inches from the top of the cap C to the baseline.

3 1/2 inches from the top of the lower case A to the baseline.

The solid stripe is 3 3/8 inches thick, and the whole decal is 69 inches long.

At least, that's according to the one I have in my office. It may be a perfect replica of the original, or it may not.
