I was wondering why they use a different font for the cover of the KR DVD's instead of the font that appears during the intro? Don't get me wrong I do like the newer fonts but I was just wondering why they changed it.

It's an old wood type font called "Rubens". It was made in 1890.
You can find a free hack job version of it on some Knight Rider sites, but the spacing and angles are horribly off, plus it doesn't have the lowercase set.
This is a version of it that is a little condensed, and the G is off.
