I have a friend (Mrs. Hutton - I assume the chars below translate roughly to Hutton) who went to Hong Kong, and while there, had a chop made for her.
I would like to make her a little GIF or JPEG that she could use in her email as a signature, but I can't seem to figure out what characters are involved. I have spent hours and hours on the net looking at characters on Chinese web sites, but all I have now is sore eyes!
My pathetic representation of the chop is here:

Do you know what characters these are, and if there might be a (free) Type 1 or True Type font that I could download? Actually, even pictures of each character (more skilfully done than mine), would help.
Thanks for your help,

"When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands with the buttered side facing down. I propose to strap buttered toast to the back of a cat. The two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago."

Re: Help with chop?
I took a glimpse at that chop. I know the one character on the left it is the character 頓(Man.dun4) (Can.dun6). The "Dun" sound would be the Hu"tton" sound in your friends name. If I find out the what the other word is, I'll get back to you.
