first of, that's another font...
...and it's a bitmap font so i don't really see the point of tracing that one.
Well the "C", "R", and "S" looked correct and that's where I've been having the trouble. None of the fonts that I have looked at have had a correct letter for all three of those except for Threepoints North. Now you're right that it looks like a pixelated version of Threepoints North. It makes me wonder if its the font used for "Thank you Mario, but our princess is in another castle" since this font is supposed to be the one for the original SMB...

that font is most likely from super mario world to snes for the text "MARIO START" in the beginning of every level. the glyphs are also not true to the original since it doesn't align with an 16x8 grid. if it would be placed with its original spacings i would doubt it would be suitable for other texts than "MARIO START" since multiple 'M's would not have any spacing in between and 'A' would only be complete if followed by an 'R'.
I'm not sure what this means. Sure if you're creating a font you defign the spacing between letters. Please realize though that I have zero knowledge of photoshop (aside from adobe reader) and have even less about fonts. This is my first outting ever into photoshopping anything so I have no clue on a lot of the things that you are mentioning other than to fix things pixel by pixel. I already did that for the "Nintendo Seal of Quality" but it was so time consuming to do it that way that for the "action series" logo I was hoping to save the time.

if this is for our your own private project (will not be distributed and non-commercial) then you should be in no trouble if you would copy the generated text on the webpage i linked to before, photoshop it to look like the one used for the "ACTION SERIES" logo, and using it in your project.
Oh I suppose that I could do it that way. I was just hoping to avoid that kind of thing since I'll basically have to manually insert the letters and manually align them properly both vertically and horizontally since each letter would be like a separate object in photoshop. I was just hoping to avoid that kind of tedium since they'll never be...perfect. At times like this I wish that photoshop worked more like autocad and you could "snap" things to certain points. If you know of a way of making sure everything is aligned horizontally and of making sure that they are evenly spaced vertically then please let me know.

That's not a bad idea. The main reason why I didn't do it that way originally is that I couldn't find a high enough resolution image of the Action Series logo. I wasn't sure what games it was placed on though aside from SMB. I scanned my own copy of SMB but even at the highest resolution on my scanner, it tended to get blurry when I zoomed in high enough. When I get home I'll take a look at the game that you link to there to see how good the scan is.
Anyhow I appreciate your help and appreciate any other ideas that you can give me.
