TOPIC:

need to identify this font please

I can't find any similar either. Take into account that the numbers on athletic t-shirts are usually heavily customized, to avoid copying them.
It could be a custom font or a customized version of an existing font

I have the same issues with many fonts,even free ones so what i suggest to do is
locate the "suggestion area" of the website and make a suggestion of expanding the the font data base or updating it better. And also adding Dafont.com or other websites you use for finding fonts so we can get a better data base for when it searches the web. And have them expand the search to more than 50,000. 75% of the ones i need help with ,FMF does not find them ,so i feel there is a flaw in the system when searching online.

Hi Pippin,
and thank you for your suggestions.
Here are some answers to your points.

We continuously update our database by adding fonts or font-images, but this is not always easy as some commercial fonts are very expensive, they are not available for free and therefore we can't acquire the high quality images required for our database.

Dafont.com is already on our database and it is updated regularly.

I suppose you are referring to 50,000 limit of "Max. Fonts to Browse" parameter in preferences.
This parameter has nothing to do with online or local search: It only applies to how many local fonts can be viewed in the "Browse Fonts" tab.
You can create as many local Fontsets as you like (each Fontset is a root directory containing fonts) and each Fontset may contain up to 1.000.000 font files. The application always search/match all selected Fontsets' fonts.
