They look flat because they are low quality images. I captured mine with SnagIt,
the image on the left is from the web site. I didn't try to match the font. When
you are using a print publication the images will be just fine.

They must have changed the ad because that looks flat to me.

I still think you need to use a graphics program and create whatever text you
need with that. Add your effects and save it as a graphic.

I would like the font on the cover of the brochure I'm creating to stand out.
If you would please look at the following link as an example.
http://www.overstock.com/cgi-bin/d2....cid=95472&fp=F

See how the "$1 Shipping Today Only" looks?

I'd like to achieve something like that in the printed brochure.

I haven't found a font that will not work within Publisher, there are
probably some, but I haven't run into one.

Is there something special you wanted to do with a font?

This may not be the appropriate newsgroup for my question. It concerns
fonts that have an appearance of being three-dimensional. Other appear to
have shading that is "soft" or cloudlike. Can anyone advise as to either
formatting fonts or purchasing those that will work within Publisher 2002?

For just the odd headline.

Use two text frames for the text.

The background text frame has the text in black (or grey) for the
shadow. In whatever font you choose.

Then the foeground text frame has the text in the foreground colour
in the same font, but set to transparent - select the frame then
Ctrl + T.

Move the foreground text frame around until you get the desired
offset.

Should add:

cancel\untick the [wrap text around objects] box in the
Text Frame Properties dialogue box

Which is near the bottom of the Format Menu, when a text frame
is selected.
