Maxpayne Type Font Based off of W3D's Title Font?
I've been searching for the a type font based upon the shiny gothic lettering in WOLFENSTEIN 3D , and so far I've only found one W3D font but it was only based upon the minor unelaborate font. I've seen that others have been able create their own WOLF3D veined gothic titles for their mods, so the font must be available somewhere. Anybody of the W3D crowd who can help me?

So there isn't a downloadable word processing font based upon WOLFENSTEIN 3D's German lettering? WHY?!

Consider you make one yourself?

I wish. I'm not savvy at creating fonts, or doing anything else digital. If I did do it, I would need access to sprites of those letters, assuming I know which part of the game to find them in. I mean yes, I could take snapshots, but there must be some part of the W3D files which features an entire alphabet done in that kind of lettering, with the metallic/red/blue colors. I recall only the font being featured in the words "Wolfenstein 3D" and "Get Psyched!" I would think that it would be available around, because other modders could use that font for the titles of their own W3D addons for authenticity. Either it doesn't exist, or I'm using the wrong search engine.

Maybe it's based upon an existent German gothic font, but I'm not sure.

The title font is not in the game files. The font used in the title and Get Psyched is the only used there. Some people I think created other letters in the font's style but the new letters were heavily aliased. I remember finding a zip file with the 26 letters, 10 numbers and some symbols years ago but I wasn't happy with how they looked.
