Does anyone know of a free font that is close to Chalkduster (in Word)? Not to be confused with Chalkdust.

I am looking for an earthy/playful font... thanks in advance!!

How about Eraser : http://www.dafont.com/eraser.font

Thank you!! I love it!

Is the Eraser and Chalkduster an OpenType or PostScript font???

Thanks in advance!!

as you can read on its own page, Eraser is a TrueType font (ttf extension)
http://www.dafont.com/eraser.font

if you're not sure, why don't you download it and open the zip file ?

Regarding Chalkduster, i have no idea.
I don't download fonts on websites other than Dafont.

Chalkduster is truetype too, Apple 2008. Eraser (1992 D. Rakowski) and Chalkdust (WSI 1997) are identical and very similar to Radium J (Perished Bold) (1995 J.B.Thyssen), BlackBoard DisplaySCaps (1995 Southern Software), Paranoid (1994 Brendel Informatik), LHF Basher (2005 Dave Correll for Letterhead Fonts) and EraserDust (1944 Intecsas).
