The MS Office 2003 Professional CD (http://www.aota.net/forums/showthread.php?t=19622) you were going to buy has several Franklin Gothic fonts. Publisher 2003 (included with Office Pro) has:
Frabk.ttf Franklin Gothic Book
Frabkit.ttf Franklin Gothic Book Italic
Fradm.ttf Franklin Gothic Demi
Fradmcn.ttf Franklin Gothic Demi Cond
Fradmit.ttf Franklin Gothic Demi Italic
Frahv.ttf Franklin Gothic Heavy
Frahvit.ttf Franklin Gothic Heavy Italic
Framd.ttf Franklin Gothic Medium
Framdcn.ttf Franklin Gothic Medium Cond
Framdit.ttf Franklin Gothic Medium ItalicSo maybe you all ready have what you need. (I found this info at the Microsoft website.)

Otherwise, I suggest you search the web for a free download or pay for it.

MyFonts is awfully expensive though unless you really only need one font - it seems you would do much better buying a large package of fonts or a design program which includes a lot of fonts packaged with the core program, getting fonts for around $0.15-$0.37 each with CorelDraw for example--even doubling that after you discard the ones you'll never use, you still come out way ahead in the long run vs. paying $20 per font.

Franklin Gothic Medium is included with Windows XP -- the user name in the Start menu is done with it. But they don't give you all of the variations that are in Office, just Book, Medium and Medium Italic.

oops! Yes, I really have Franklin Gothic Medium in my office XP. Thanks for prompt.
But I still need Franklin Gothic. OfficeXP have Franklin Gothic Book - is this the same font as Franklin Gothic? It seems, it looks similar. Or it's another font?

OfficeXP have Franklin Gothic Book - is this the same font as Franklin Gothic? It seems, it looks similar. Or it's another font? Hard to say exactly. Fonts with "book" or "roman" in their names tend to be your basic everyday typefaces, so it should be more or less the same as a plain Franklin Gothic.

But just as font companies use different naming schemes (book vs roman, oblique vs italic), each one has its own idea of what a common font like Franklin Gothic should look like ... and sometimes just one of those companies will have multiple renditions.

They may even change the name -- because a name can be copyrighted, but the actual design of a font is fair game. Gothic No.16 and Pittsburgh are supposed to be equivalent to Franklin Gothic.

Welcome to the weird world of fonts. :confuz:
