I'm thinking about ordering vinyl N-Numbers from here http://www.custom-vinyl-lettering.net/ and would like to have a little fancier font for the lettering. I've read through the Far's 45.2x and don't see anything prohibiting using other fonts.

Does anyone have any experience is using different fonts for N-Numbers and would the attached style be a problem during inspection?

I too read the FAR's on what is legal and what isn't. I went with the drop shadow design for my 801 and I am very happy with the look. On the flip side I have seen some bizzare color schemes and fonts and some set ups with contrasting colors that actually hid the N numbers. Some how it passed the DAR or Faa's initial inspection so my take is they don't really nit pick on that... One other thing.... I did shop the price on getting them made, some aircraft vendors were in the 200+ dollar range. I took my idea to the local decal/ sign shop. they made them for 75 bucks and they looked so good I gave them a 25 dollar tip. YMMV

It depends on the inspector. As I recall Scott Laughlin got a guy from the
FAA who was very unhappy with Scott's italic font. You could probably quote
from the regs but it isn't an argument I'd like to have on inspection day.

Mel Asberry would be a good resource. He went to battle with the FAA over three inch N-numbers on experimentals and won.
