Anyone have a specific source for Vinyl N numbers? I'm not having much success finding a Roman Capital font either... probably a standard the FAA created in 1928 when that font was all the rage!
I'm situated in the NW corner, online is fine too.

Keep in mind that "Roman Letters" doesn't mean "Times Roman" font. Roman Letters are A, B, C, D, etc. as opposed to letters in Mandarin, Cantonese, Farsi, Cyrillic, etc.Anyone have a specific source for Vinyl N numbers?

Thanks all for the input... the last comment by Rob was the clarification I was looking for.
Cheers
There are requirements for height, spacing, line thickness, etc.
I would still be careful, I could not find a single font in Word that met the FARs and my DAR called me on my first set. If your DAR follows the regulation I would look a lot closer at what they say. There are requirements for height, spacing, line thickness, etc. My DAR even has seen some from Spruce that did not meet the regs.
Did he not have something better to pick on? Painting your fuel caps red, maybe?
Geez, seriously? Unless the numbers and letters are egregiously out of spec, who the F cares?
Ya I don't agree with it either as I didn't have a wild font or anything either. Rules will be rules I guess. It wasn't much of a bother so I just made the quick change. Luckily he told me ahead of the visit when he requested pictures. Overall he was a cool guy and I would use him again.
While it might be OK to consider an Inspector to be "picky", One should NEVER chastise him/her for "going by the book"! It's his/her job!
Did he actually get out his ruler and measure the height, width, spacing and stroke lengths of the N-number? Or did he just guess that it wouldn't meet the requirements?
In any case, that kind of silliness and pedantry is why the word "bureaucrat" is a derogatory term.
It's a slippery slope once you decide some rule is stupid and you'll ignore it because "everyone is doing it".
