Is it "Old English Text MT" or "Blackletter 686"? Why are these two fonts so similar? Anyone can give me a history lesson on these two fonts? :-\

The two "N"s are different, so typing a capital N in the name select should tell you which font SotN uses.

As for the history to the fonts, I have no bloody clue. Sorry.

Doesnt look like either to me I think they used a custom font since they all had to be bitmap fonts anyway

It's a custom or third font. The H used in SotN's name font is different than both fonts here - It looks closer to a capital H than a large lowercase H.

Aside from being gothic fonts, they are not similar, as far as fonts go. Almost all the capitol letters and numbers have plain as day differences. The lower case may, too, but I don't feel like looking at them that closely.
