MaryAnne Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Why Pigpen look! It's a rubber duck...and she's about to put the hammer down! ROFLHi Karyn, welcome to HNet!You've said nor done nothin' wrong. LOL. I've seen the font referred to as either Hobo or Hobby Headline. We'd love to see a pic of your sign when it's finished!

the_rubber_duck Posted August 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 thanks for the welcome! and thank you so much for the tip on the font! i was gettin kinda worried that i might hafta draw it out by hand (which wouldnt be to bad, im good at drawin! lol) its just easier this way and less time consumin. i wanted it done by a certain day. so thanks again. i havent checked it out as to whether its close to the original or not, but i will as soon as im done here! and just FYI, the rubber duck refers to my Jeep (grand cherokee). i offroad (alot) and i decided to take it "swimming" one day in some DEEP muddy (and smelly!) water. nevertheless, i ended up with 6" off water in the "cab" and a soaked butt. so we decided to nickname it the "rubber duck" and its been madness since! lol anywho, thanks so much again!! ill be around. in the meantime, keep it between the ditches!

B.L. Davenport Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Hi Rubber Duck welcome from B.L. Davenport. I've wondered about the font as well so glad ya asked! I've sort of made my own desktop theme. Anyway I was surfing and found a site where you could download the font. The link is below:hazzardonline.com/html/misc.html (Moderator Note: This domain is no longer available.)Happy sign making B.L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 BL's link seems to be dead now. I found this site where you can download various versions of the font for free.http://fontzone.net/font-details/Hobo+BT/?preview=THE+DUKES+OF+HAZZARDAs well as the aliases listed by MaryAnne, I seem to remember old versions of CorelDraw called it Homeward Bound.

Dekes21 Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 I can see it has been a LONG time since anyone has updated this post. I just posting this to let any others seeking this font that the two previous links posted here are also now dead. I will continue my search and if i find something, I will update this post. Have a great day! RogerDuke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 The downloads section on the home page seems to have gone missing, but I found a TrueType version of Hobo font at the link below: https://www.ffonts.net/Hobo.font.download Just google "hobo font free" if that doesn't work for you.
