I'm making a game with NPC dialogue and I'm sorta curious... What do you guys think the closest "real-world" font the locked door and item pick-up text looks like most. I can't seem to find a good match and Ariel just doesn't look right with the existing HUDs. I don't really want to make new door HUDs, and I DO like the look of the stock ones. Any suggestions?

Wow... I didn't know that those kind of sites existed! I found a creative alternative to my font problem, though. I'm just photoshoping all new HUDs... they look better in my new game anyway

Thanks for the sites... I'll probaly do that for future reference anyway!
