Hey guys,I need your help badly here! As you know from my earlier posts I'm trying to make my own decals for my F/A-18C Bug. I have just found out VFA-113 is currently deployed on the USS Ronald Reagan and I want my bug to show that.What I need are fonts Navy uses for squadron marking lettering and the numbers they use also, (ie; Tail code, VFA-XXX, USS Kitty Hawk)Does anyone know where in can find and download these fonts for free?Does anyone have these fonts they can email me?I have been trying to reproduce them with the fonts I have and nothing I have even comes close to matching them.Any help here and info on where to get the fonts would put a HUGE smile on my face.Thanks in advance,Air Master.

Typefaces have long been subject to the same copyright protections as photographs and other intellectual properties. Very few typefaces are public domain.
If the guy at TLai sat down and draws a typeface, formats it as TrueType and PostScript for both Mac and Windows users, then he has every right to charge for that font.

The spacing is wrong and some of the characters are not right. I suppose it would do in a pinch. I have been looking for a long time and have not come across the Longbeach font for free yet.I purchased the Longbeach font years back along with the Amarillo and Military Stencil, it saved me from having to make them in Corel Draw.Use the fonts creating custom decals, it's a lot of fun.

I assume the author of the USAFFCode font did this so as to not to infringe. They are the same except for that one letter.I think the best way to do this is get both the WMF file you offered and the font set I offered and just swap the J's out. This is the way I would do it.Either way you go about doing this is a win win for all that need the LongBeachUSN font for custom decals.
I will be using both.Air Master. I think you mean TLai Enterprises, they made that font 'LongBeachUSN' and several others with military modelers in mind. One license for that font is $20.50, a bargain if you ask me! You can use it over and over again after all. I have a license for their MD Military Stencil A font, and I think it's the best software value out of anything I've ever purchased onlline.This guy deserves our money, and I hope modelers will support him to encourage him to eventually release his other in-progress projects. Him or others like him.https://www.tlai.com/meddes/lbusn.html.
