You can find them under Steam/steamapps/common/Age2HD/resources/_common/fonts. Just go there and find out yourself.

Look in Steam\steamapps\common\Age2HD\resources\_common\fonts

As for the actual logo fonts, much of it is old Castellar variant. Your best bet is to look for fonts made before 1999. This means diving into Corel software as some fonts were from there. (The whole Apple vs Microsoft vs Corel vs Xerox)

Edit: Confirmed sources:

MS Office 97
MS Publisher 2000
Corel (Agfa Monotype Corporation Licenses)
Others: https://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/product.aspx?PID=128

I believe when he said fonts like MS Office 97 he meant the standard fonts that came with Microsoft Office for that year 1997 etc. Much like Microsoft Office 2015 will come with standard fonts too.

The CD version should have a fonts folder as well. Probably it is just a different location. Search for the ending ".ttf". Then you can take the files there.

Or if you want a list...

Centaur MT (v1.0)
Comic Sans MS (v5.11)
Georgia (v5.57)
Lucida Bright (v1.50)
Lucida Blackletter (v1.50)
Lucida Calligraphy (v1.60)
Papyrus (v1.0)
Poor Richard (v1.0)
Viner Hand ITC (v1.01)

Logo:
Castellar (v1.50+) 'Age' & 'Empires'

I used to know the font of the 'of' part in 'Age of Empires' and the banner, but I dont off the top of my head. I think the banner and 'HD Edition' is some common font that I didn't have to dig up.

There's a lot of websites which supply fonts, just Google them.

The left looks like a book gothic type (Georgia), the right looks like an internal sans-serif narrow font, there's a heavy lip on the bottom of the 'k' character which sans-serif's dont usual have. It may be just Tahoma (windows XP default) or Verdana but coded in a way that it's scrunched.

50% of the fonts are done ^^ thanks bro!. I really hope that you can reconise the other font too :P. I really, really appreciate the effort.

Mind = blown. I can't thank you more, I was almost trying to make costom fonts or copy paste it and make words by hand.

1 more question, if I use notepad then extra colours appear, can I disable them to get them exactly like AoE 2 ?
