Scratch Font

Does anyone know the font that Scratch uses in its interface, or where I can find it? Specifically, I'm looking for the font used in this:

Many thanks to anyone who can answer.  big_smile

Re: Scratch Font

Cool! I think the Scratch community would appreciate that. I thought of a workaround though-just make a variable with the text you want and take a screenshot.  tongue

Re: Scratch Font

It's actually just a pixelated version of the font "Verdana," bolded, the way Squeak renders it  smile

Use Scratch 1.2.1 or older, use the font Verdana Bold at size 10, and it'll look exactly the same, I think  big_smile

(That is, in the paint editor.)

Re: Scratch Font

I just checked, and I'm almost entirely sure that it's Verdana Bold size 10.  smile

EDIT: dang, coolstuff beat me too it!
