Excuse the stupidity, but this is the same font used on guildwars2.com right? I was thinking of doing something like this, but couldn't figure out how. Is it a specific font family? Or are you just making these images from chopped up bits of others? Or something I couldn't think of? Thanks in advance. EiveTalk 06:50, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

I have not found the font anywhere so yes, these are letters collected and rearranged to spell new things. Does it look in-line with the regular headers? - Infinite - talk 06:52, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
Very much so. I've been looking back and forth between this and guildwars2.com and this looks perfect. EiveTalk 06:54, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
I will have to make the other 7 headers later today and finish the rest of my characters' individual pages. :) - Infinite - talk 06:57, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
This font is proprietary so you have to remove the GFDL tag. And actually, I'm not even sure if you have the right to use it here :s Chriskang 10:19, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
I'm not using the font, it's a derived work. Can I not use ArenaNet's images on GW2W for cosmetics? -confused- - Infinite - talk 13:15, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
Unlike concept arts and screenshots, Anet cannot claim the copyright on an image that contains a proprietary font. So even if you copied the letters from the official website, they're not ArenaNet's images. The licence that Anet bought to display those images on the official site probably grants them the right to use them here too (as it's the same domain actually) but this is definitely not GFDL content.

I just realized that you used the {{ArenaNet image}} template which explicitly says that content is not GFDL... forget what I said, I'm stupid. Chriskang 13:53, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
Fortunately it was false alarm, or I'd have to make new headers on my entire userspace. :P - Infinite - talk 14:08, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
