Thanks for the suggestions. I honestly didn't think of getting around the (10) post threshold for thread pics by using the album.

Regarding fonts - Yes, I certainly agree that there are subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) difference between similar fonts. I'll be showing my age a bit, but I've been doing graphic art and technical drawing text layouts since the days of Letraset and Leroy lettering sets for drafting, so I have more than a little bit of experience in that area. (For those who too young to remember, Letraset transfer letters & K&E Leroy lettering guides were common before mainstream computer software for graphic art & CAD.) I only mentioned the "Lethal Weapon" font as an example to show that something quite close to the Nishiki font I need may be readily available.

And oh yes, color matching self-printed decals is almost impossible because of the transparent substrate and that the printed colors are not opaque.

Sending out emails is another good suggestion. It is certainly true that vendors sometimes don't include their entire inventory on their web sites. I've been in contact with some potential vendors already (via eBay) and I'll reach out to Cyclomondo.
