As it says, I'm trying to find the Phantom of the Opera font (musical), and, if it's not an actual font, does anyone know how to distort fonts to look like it? I'm really just interested in getting that shattered glass effect.

Well, I've looked into this and the closest font I can find is Garamond.
The special effect however is easier said than done.

My theory is to put a shattered glass layer behind the font. *shrug*
I dunno how to explaint he rest though. confused

I finally figured out how to make it!

These instructions are for Photoshop

For shattered glass
1. import a picture of shattered glass.
2. duplicate the glass layer so the original is safe.
3. select two colors (white and light blue for the cover)
4. Go to Image > Adjustments> Gradient Map
5. Replace color with the selected colors

now the tricky part
6. Using Garamond typeface, type in the title
7. Select Layer > Rasterize > Type
(this will turn the font into a pixelated image for modification)
8. Using the Magic wand, select the TRANSPARENT part of the text layer
9. Use the Similar command to select the other parts of the transparent layer
10. Fill the selection with BLACK color
11. Inverse the selection and delete!

And there you have it!

And voila!

You still didn't get the shatter effect in the text.

Edit: OMAGASH! Look at THIS!

It was long and tedious, and you might not have the right program to do what I did.
