If any one could tell me the name of the font where it says Dorchester Collection it would help me out a lot.

If you look at the text on the webpage, it's not actually an image, it's real text. Look at the source code and it tells you what font it is:
src="/owshare/flash/sifr_fonts/i... height="28" width="673">The style of individuality
The key is this bit:
src="/owshare/flash/sifr_fonts/i...ie the font is called Industrial:
http://www.fontshop.com/index.cf…they've obviously done something clever with flash to allow them to use that font which in turn has screwed up the rendering but it looks a lot like industrial only heavier. Look at the angle on top of the lower case t.
just call me sherlock!

Well Monsieur Poirot,
They're using SiFR which is an accessible flash text replacement 'trick' to put in accessible fonts that don't rely on system fonts.

And I am dissapointed that my original suggestion of 'Papyrus' was not followed with other rediculous font suggestions.

I did laugh at the papyrus comment and considered saying 'andale mono' or some such thing.
That flash text replacement thing doesn't work so well huh? The type looks nasty on my browser.

Baskerville
(Jan 4 07, 08:38)I think they have executed it poorly. It does work and works well to some degree but I do have issues with it at times.

Bit hard to tell, looks like shite.

speaking of Andale Mono, my friend at uni used to pronounce it 'an-dah-lay mono' as if it was italian or something, we all laughed at him in a crit of calling it that, surely it's 'an-dayl mono'?
btw the font on that site might be Gadget I think, or Curlz
