halp :(

Wanting to get a glass engraved for my dad's 60th, and I want this on it:

Problem is the image there is all I have, and its a bit too small and scraggy to make a decent vector or line graphic out of. So thinking about finding that font, or one almost the same to work with instead.

Can anyone ID the font used? I've had a nose round t'interweb but can't find anything remotely similar.

I tried this site with your image but it failed: http://new.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/
Has a couple of suggestions at the bottom, including submitting it to their forum for help tho?

Isn't there a contact link on the site you got it off?
Maybe they have a high rez copy?

Its from a scanned pic my dad had emailled to him a while back, so I can't even re-scan the image :(

Its ok though, I managed to redraw the image by some cunning PSP image manipulations and a bit of hand drawn lines. Didn't take quite as long as I thought it would, but would still be handy to know if there's a similar font out there.

A little bit clunky in some bits but otherwise not too shabby. Its going to be engraved onto a whiskey glass so that quality should suffice.

Jack try identifont on the interweb it's very good for trying to locate typefaces.

If I was at work I'd have redrawn it for you.
