Hello all,

can someone tell me please the font name used for "PostgreSQL" on the
main website? And if it's a specific font not available as example in
OpenOffice, where i can download this font.


Thanks

Check the "fonts" section of the pgweb readme:

It seems to be Arial but the Q is a little different. Maybe it's another
font?

The font is called Strait. The text for the logo also had some kerning
adjustment.

My understanding is that it's a fairly obscure font that Tom's wife has.
If you want the logo you're best off just using the logo.

No, that's the one used in the headlines, not the logo. And it's not
particularly obscure, it's just commercially licensed.
