I am trying to find a downloadable "Dilbert" font.  The character set
should match the characters used in the Scott Adams comic strip.  It
should be a regular, downloadable TrueType font.

When I said the font "should match the characters used in the Scott
Adams comic strip", I obviously meant characters as in letters.  (This
is for the wise guy who said he envisioned Alice as the letter "A".)

I have never seen such a font, but I can imagine Alice as the letter 'A'.

Maybe this person knows:

Interesting discussion:

It may be tough (if not impossible) to find the EXACT font.

Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams responds to requests for his font this
way:

"My lettering is now done on the computer, using Photoshop. I created
a font of my letters so I can type them directly onto the scanned art.
My font was created using Fontographer software. I don't distribute my
font."

At least he explained how he did it. You can always grab a copy of
Fontographer yourself and try to imitate it.

I meant no offense in my remark about Alice resembling the letter 'A'.
Having failed to find a font that resembles the one in "Dilbert," I
was just trying for a bit of humor.
