That "Daria" Font
The type font that was used for the Daria logo and the show's episode titles (or a very close approximation thereof) is the Stereo Hifi font created by Cathy Davies. The font is free for downloading in many places on the Internet. The full copyright notice (which is not often reproduced) reads: "Copyright: Stereo Hifi is copyright 1997 by Cathy Davies. It is free for use as long as credit is given where due. Damn you thieves." Interesting that Daria and that font appeared in the same year. Hmmm . . .
One place you can download the font (and examine three other of Ms. Davies's very interesting free fonts) is here. Another is here, and yet another is here. A step-by-step description of how to load a new font on your computer (assuming you are using Microsoft products) is here. Once you have the font, you might be surprised at all the stories and websites that have been using it.
Late Add: If all else fails, you can download the font from Outpost Daria, too. Look under "TruType Font."
