- what does 'nobality' mean? As for proving the fonts are used where they are, the way you do that is by looking at the fonts used in a film and then comparing them with samples of the fonts from the publisher. Films don't generally list font credits. The only thing the publisher could do - and it might violate customer privacy - is provide proof that the company producing a film or someone working for them had bought the font. The point of all this being that where a given font is used is something which anyone can verify for themselves, but which cannot be provided in a Wikipedia article unless there were another article somewhere on which films use which fonts or something like that which could be linked to, and there just aren't articles like that. The point is that these claims are absolutely verifiable if you just compare samples of fonts in the film with samples of the fonts in question. To demonstrate this I direct you to these two image links: http://www.fontcraft.com/scriptorium/previews/beynkales.jpg and http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/B000AMPZGC/ref=dp_image_0/102-9504945-7754566?%5Fencoding=UTF8&n=5174&s=music - the first is a sample of the Beynkales font and the second is a sample from Amazon of the film title using it. Here's a link to an article referencing the use of another font in another film with samples which demonstrate the relationship - http://www.fontcraft.com/csa/fontcraftcomments.php?id=150_0_4_0_C - your google searching also isn't terribly good. Try a search for 'scriptorium' and 'tim burton' to find many references to the use of Scriptorium fonts in Burton's films and others as well. I can link to many other movie titles which use Scriptorium fonts. Should links to the images referencing the fonts be included in a Wikipedia article? That's really the only form of proof there can be.
