 		The line above "ACCOUNT OPEN" gives the date of the document. "DATE: MAY ?? 1998"

I think, at least, it says 1998, since isn't that the year Peter's parents are supposed to have disappeared?

I've modified to add your bits but I have left the numbers for now as they could be anything.

Great teamwork everyone!!! The punctuation (and lack of sleep) was throwing me off last night.

OK - so being the impatient person I am I messed around with some fonts to find one that would work for us.

LOL, I started the same thing yesterday afternoon. After looking a LOT of pixel fonts I found several that were close but not exact matches. Which font did you decide it was?

 		I thought it was around 1998, 1999. Couldn't be sure, though. It's the 1990s for sure, though.

Not one specific one - I used several 5x5 fonts and then started trial and error until things started to make sense. That J was one character I never found in that shape as an example but we already had it.

Funny, I keyed on the J to search and found a couple that matched but none matched the 2.

I agree but there is not enough information yet to decide if those remaining pixels make a 2,3,5,6,8 or 9. Same reason I left the numbers off in front of JUNE.

I went through several hundred but it's probably a 42E special! Wink

 		narrowing it down, i found this font detector and uploaded guestuser17's key for a potential font match.

i don't know how much longer the link will last:

http://tinyurl.com/7grfm6h0
(shortened link w/ tinyurl since it was breaking the forum's template)

3 of 5 results look promising.


results:

There are 5 matches for the image you uploaded.

Bitrux AOE
from Astigmatic Bitrux AOE

Bitrux B AOE
from Astigmatic Bitrux AOE

Bubbledot ICG Coarse Pos
from Image Club Bubbledot

Lilliput Steps
from Larabie Lilliput Steps

Unibody 8 Indie Small Caps



updated to add:

looking at the glyphs, the '2' font eliminates all of them as not the actual font. however, bubbledot icg coarse po's number 2 looks pretty close with a difference of two pixels.

& the '1' is different. so, fuzzy logic might be used based on similarities, unless an agreeable font can be found.

I think this is about rung out until we get some more input red is for things I'm not nearly certain of.

of all the possible numbers [0 to 9]: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 & considering the font style, the second digit is a single dot. 1 and 7 look to me like the only potential ones that may fit that criteria.

and, from youngpaddy1's image with the square paddings, it looks to me like maybe: 'PG: 01 of 01'.

good idea with the visual padding.

regarding the red 'emote' i didn't consider dashes but got around the same ballpark with one of my matching attempts at emoterj..

seeing the letter 'V' on the upper left, it can be added to the key as well.
