it. The original lettering used an all caps stencil font that I can't seem
to find. The odd bit in the font is that the capital letter "E" has no
vertical bar, that is there are only three horizontal bars.
Anybody know where this font might be found? BTW - I spoke with Hyster
dealers about it and they acted as if I were speaking a foreign language.

Corporate logos and identification are usually created by artists. They
are made to be unique to allow trademark (and/or copyright) protection.
Besides, how would you use a computer font to do lettering on a piece of
machinery? I'd think that a paintbrush would be a lot easier than trying
to pass a forklift through the paper-feed of an hp Inkjet :)
If you had supplied a link to an image (or posted an image in
alt.binaries.fonts), it would have been easier to help - here's one that
I found:

The "E" is probably modified; other than the "E", there are many dozens
of stencil-like fonts - I couldn't find a match with a quick scan. Maybe
with this image someone else can.

Like another poster, I wondered about you employing a paintbrush.
If you are determined to make a perfect job of re-doing the logo,
how about consulting one of those shops that makes adhesive (eg,
plastic) texts? You could repaint the Hyster's whole body panel
before re-lettering it.
