Yes, I do.
Don't you just LOVE these "Does anybody know....?" questions!
Well I searched the web and installed malware babylon and uninstalled etc etc and used antimalware and still there. probably will have to take computer to shop for professionals to uninstall.

There is not a good true type font for the PRR. It is often referred to as "Claw Clarendon", but even then that does not accurately describe it. Of course I am assuming you are referring to the 1943-1955 standard font of the PRR. Microscale offers come nice and fairly accurate decals in HO. I've blown up the HO ones and traced them in Autocad to get the fonts I currently have. Lots of time to get a full alphabet together and I still don't have one. If you can find a set of Champ decals, you can get a good set of letters and numbers too. Railroad fonts are fun as they are never standard. Trust me, this I know all too well!
PRRTrainguy,
Maybe, this info. might help answer your question, though you will have to search through
most of this info.
Good luck,
