I need an old mac font. Does anyone have it?

I've been looking for an older font, which I believe is a .ttf file (though it may not be), called Stuttgart. It is a flowing script-like font that newer Macs like mine don't come with. I've tried my luck finding it on the Internet, but sadly, I've only been able to find examples. There were no downloads, not even for personal use, so if anyone out there has it, could you send it to me in some way? If you know a location that I can download it from, that would be nice, too. It would be a huge favor, thanks.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Unfortunately, no. The font apparently has been released under multiple names, but the actual typeface is the same for each version. For reference, it is said to look somewhat like the script that Porsche uses for the model names on the backs of its cars, like the Carrera.

I did a search of my OS 9, 10.4 & 10.5 hard drives and no Mac font with that name appears.

Do you have an example that you could post?

I've found this, but sadly, it once again has no download.

If you have a reasonable number of examples of the font this site may help.

The font you're looking for isn't called Stuttgart; it's loosely referred to as "Carerra Script", "Cayman", and "Porsche Script". But it's a proprietary font, developed specifically for Porsche, and they don't even let their ad agencies have it.

There's a similar font out there that was done by a non-type designer for some mockups, but very few people have that, and it's not on the Interwebs as far as I can see. I'd say you're SOL on finding it.
