Ancient Script is just a bastardized version of Papyrus.

For the Serenity font, I believe a closer font that ‘Papyrus’ would be ‘Ancient Script’ available at http://www.joellessacredgrove.com/Fonts/fonts.html

It’s close, but it’s not it. Every time I look for script fonts for some other purpose, I think I see that someone has created a Firefly font, but it only turns out to be another close one. The Firefly font used for the show was custom made as a logo, not a typeface. It will take someone to come along and take the few existing letters and flesh out the missing ones.

Yes for the title —
especially the lower case letters.

I don’t have the font so have not been able to work with it but it looks close from the preview

Nope.

I assume you’re suggesting it as a possibility for the Firefly title script?

I haven’t read through everything but has anyone suggested ITC Santangeli?

Ah, yes. The font you're looking for there is a customized version of Friz Quadrata. They even used it on the "From the creator of 'Buffy' & 'Angel'" text at the top. The swooshy R and Y and the triangular cross bar on the E will have to be recreated by hand. The same font is used in much of the World of Warcraft screen text and is very similar to that used in the TV show The Prisoner

Bummer that it’s cost me $50 to buy the Voluta Script font and another $25 for the Joanna… sigh.. I guess I’ll stick with Papyrus.
