I want to make shields allover (see arrow), and a computer can really help here. But then, I need to use the correct font... I add a pic with some shields with that typical font... Anybody knows which one to use ? There seem to be (at least) two types : "blockstelle" is different from "parkplatz". It is the latter that I would love to find, the former would suit me also... Thanks ! Bob
