Hi Savage- Nice to hear you are also following the project! After the long delays, I really can't wait to have it done.
I believe that the original lettering that was used is unknown. I tried to find that info a while ago, but nobody seemed to know. For the 2004 DVD's, it's some variant of News Gothic. I just took my card from Empire of Dreams and scaled it to match the OOT exactly.
I don't have any more of the King's Row score at this time. I've looked on Amazon, however, and there appears to be a digital recording of a large portion of "King's Row" done in the late 1980's. I'll probably be picking that up soon...

That would be awesome if after this month you can focus on audio--but don't rush at the expense of quality.
As far as the theme goes, that is a dilemma. Do you have more of the score, or is it just the track from "The Sea Hawk"? I don't hear anything in that track that would match very smoothly as the opening of the end credits, unfortunately. If you can make it work, though, that's fine. At the same time, I do now recall that John Williams had the Rebel Fanfare in the opening of the end credits of the PT, even though it didn't chronologically debut until ROTS, because, in the spirit of the "serial" feel they were going for, the end credits music remained a constant throughout the saga, tying it together in just that little touch. So even with the approach you're going for, I don't think it would be inappropriate to keep the end credits opening the same; it would simply be a matter of preference. Both ways have their merits.

Okay, cool. It is slightly expensive for a CD. Is it worth it to you just to listen to? Because if not, I might be able to request a trade for an uncompressed copy of it on JWFan for you.
Trooperman, you are still planning to at least record the dubs for ROTS, right? If so, I have some ideas for the duel...
