Many Southern Pacific Model Railroaders are wanting the SP text fonts so here's my answer. I use Century School Book Bold. My Windows XP Pro didn't come with that font. I hadn't dinked around with fonts before so I went to Google and found an excellent Web Site.

I downloaded the font file and it was a TTF extension just under 130K. The instructions said to copy and paste it to Windows\Fonts and it worked. Now I have the "SP" font available in every program on my computer. Century School Book Bold font is extremely close to the real thing as my picture below shows.
I was very surprised at how close the font is to the Micro-Scale decals. I made several decals for my MOW Equipment that took some doings to apply. I don't have an Alps Printer so the best I can do is make a negative decal using black on clear and painting the car with a white stripe.
The picture above is the corner of my wrecking crane. I printed out the MW 7032 decal on my HP Photo Smart 7900 Ink Jet Printer. It is a negative, black background with white text, printed on clear decal paper. I painted a white strip on the car to make the clear text white.
