Just to throw another idea into the mix, what about Squared Extended? Its almost identical to eurostile extended, just ever so slightly narrower. I find the kerning needs a bit less playing with too!

Your version of eurostile looks a bit squarer/squished, is that the standard version?
It's a clean looking font, I've just never taken to the squared areas of rounded letters, the lower case D and the O for example.

I didn't have the Squared Extended font so couldn't try it. The version I've used there is an Open Type version of Eurostile Extended 2.

Thanks for all your replies.
