Long story short, I need to match the font used on the left and right menu buttons on this site:
http://uconngalileo.engr.uconn.edu

To be clear, the fonts on these buttons:
ABOUT GALILEO
ENGINEERING
MODULES
COMMUNICATION

IT MUST BE A TRUE TYPE FONT!

$2.00 Paypal to the first person who tells me which damn font it is, because I havn't been able to figure it out!

Looks pretty common to me, although I have no idea what the actual name is.

Please dont' just guess... so far everyone is wrong...

MS Sans Serif MIGHT be right... but theres no True Type Font version of MS Sans Serif apparently... so you can't use it in Paint Shop Pro / CorelDraw, so its no good to me.

Cool site, but it produced 85 results, most of which were obviously wrong. Probably works better on a more exotic font, though.

I say Verdana. If it's not that, it's damn close

*edit* Verdana

Even the odd spacing between the lines of the capital E are the same

my picture kinda sucks...that's microsoft paint for you...



*edit 2* after all my testing and finding what I think is it....I think of looking at the source...unless this is just a rare conincidence

<html>
<head>
<title>Galileo Home</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;">
<style>
table.covernews
{
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color : #c1c1c1;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
text-algin: left;
line-height:15px;
}

*edit 3* It's even a true type font. I think we have a winner.

It is NOT Verdana. Or any of the others so far. The spacing is wrong for Vendana, and the E's are different.

Also, why the HECK would look at the source code matter? It's not HTML, its a frickign IMAGE!
