HELP! Can't find the right font!

I am printing my own invites and want to use a nice but legible font.  The main problem that I am having is with my FI name.  He is a III (third) and I can't find a font that will let me type this without it looking abnormal.  In this font I and use an i capitolized.  Anyone know of a font that will allow me to do this. Thanks!

    Do you have any fonts you like to give me a starting point?

    I like the english style font and the script. I also found one called Harrington that I like.  Thanks for any ideas!

    A couple of things to keep in mind - you can switch from a capitol i to a lower case L, which may help in some fonts.  Other unconventional ideas - try the bar separator (above the enter key on your keyboard) or the slash (division symbol)  You can also do the iii in a different font than the rest of the name, if that helps. 

    www.dafont.com has thousands of free fonts you can download.  They also have a handy dandy spot where you can type in whatever you want to preview your text.  I'd put your FI's name in there & view.  I just put in a random name to try to get different shape letters on the screen.  LINK to calligraphy fonts

    That said, I think there are some non-scripty ones that could be nice, and are similar to the Harrington one.  Here's a general list of ones I spotted that seem like something you might like:  Dustismo Roman (italic)  Black Jack (I used the vertical bar on this one)  Romance Fatal Serif  English (use the division slash)  Scriptina (division slash) 

    I hope that helps!
