Trying to decide on an alphabet to use - help!

[Caterfree10]

Wasn't sure where to put this, but I suppose this is better than nothing, heh.

So I'm working on designing a Crisis Core-themed pattern that would include one of the more iconic quotes from the game, "Embrace your dreams, and protect your SOLDIER honor." Problem is, finding an alphabet I really like is taxing and I was wondering if anyone knew of any alphabets that are close to the font used for the subtitles in the game? here is a post on my tumblr that has the target font in use (though is a completely different scene than the one the pattern'll reference, heh |D; ).

Right now, the alphabets I'm looking at are:
#1
#2
#3

But I am more than open to other alphabets you may know of that would work better! Any help/advice? :V

I can't get the #3 link to load (my net sucks today), but judging by the address it leads to something I was going to suggest - the arial font.

Arial is one of my favourite fonts for text stitching and it looks not dissimilar to the Crisis Core font.

Here's what a small weight arial font looks like stitched:

I can do you a text pattern if you need it, although you'll have to let me know how big you want your letters (in stitches).
Hope that helps!

Thank ya muchly for the advice and visuals! I went with the Arial font after all, and it seems to be the easiest to convert to the sth format anyhow. x3

But yeah, here's hoping I have another pattern to post by this evening. :3b Thank you for your help! ^_^

hey ya, what size font did you use for Arial? or if possible, could someone help me with writting out something? *looks up hopefully*

[Caterfree10]

I pretty much went with the font that's in the 3rd linked alphabet above and transposed it stitch by stitch onto the pattern. I mean, I'm sure if one were to screw around in Microsoft Word or something, one'd be able to figure out what other sizes.

But yeah, bout 30min to an hour of hand-copying the alphabet from the linked image onto the kg-stitch file was what I did for mine, so. :Bb Feel free to PM me if you need more details! x3 (or IM me, I'm fairly sure I have those linked in my profile. :Va)
