Sorry Boomer... didn't mean to leave you out. 
Send me a wave and we'll see what I can do. 
Same goes for any other Browncoats who are interested.

Dudes, I hate to be the bearer of bad tiding - but 'Nuptial Script' ain't the Firefly font. The F is totally missing the curl on the top cross-stroke and the y is completely wrong. Plus..waaaayy too much serif on the r and i.
I'm pretty sure that the font was produced specifically for the show (as were the fonts for Buffy and Angel), but you might want to try finding a download for one of these. They're all a pretty good match:

There's a fantastic fonts-site, perhaps you can find similar fonts there. I know that you can download Corabael too - and for free. It's German, but the search is easy. ;)

http://www.angel-btvs.co.uk/fun/fonts.php Has the nuptial font for free. Also the papyrus font from Serenity. (It's damned close either way).

I used Nuptial for my eBay Firefly auction and you're all right, it's close but not exact. It conveys the mood adequately enough.

Hon, I didn't say it was. However, others were asking for a free place to find it. If I knew how to make a font set, I would. Oh well...

I've been working on a new Firefly/Serenity site for a local Meetup group and, in so doing, have been looking into the fonts used on the show and in the movie. Here are my findings: http://blogs.macmerc.com/rick/?p=232
As it turns out, I won't be using too many of the on the site just yet, but I thought the community might benefit from the research just the same.

Papyrus vs Serenity
Close, but not exact. Close enough?
SpoilerRick, nice job with the Font research! I used to have a True Type Font maker. I'll see if I can't dig it up on an old backup CD and try to put together a Firefly font for you.

Oh, the joys of a bumped thread...
Here's how it is: when I first got into Firefly and Serenity I was looking into the font thing. I googled firefly font and one of the results was this thread. Consequently, I lurked for all of a day and then joined. I've been happily conversing with the lot of you since then.
Thanks for everything!!!
