Regarding the credits.  The font SirJonah used is fairly close, but I think in the end each letter will have to be adjusted individually to match an accurate source.  Is the font in the credits of the GOUT accurate to the theatrical release?  Or were they for some reason altered by the time they did the transfer?

You're right about having to adjust each and every letter individually to make everything fit perfectly -- but I will not be doing that! If someone wants to try that, it's up to them.

I have a perfect transcript now of the credits and I am in the process now of re-creating it, section by section, column by column. It's about a 95% fit to the GOUT credits (which are distorted, by the way -- I've tried to correct it as best I can). Optical kerning looks like a better fit for the letters than metric.

I will do a final rendered sequence and hand over all my files (PSDs, AEP) and if Harmy or anyone else wants to tinker with it, they can!
