Suppose so, but now of course I've tried looking for them and the only places I can find them you have to pay!
How come fonts are so expensive?
Because they are, that's all I can say. You might ask why is Office so expensive, why is Windows so expensive? Why is Cool Edit so expensive? Simply because they can and they want to control the prices.
James, if you want these fonts, then drop me a PM and I'll do my best to try and sort you out.
Fonts are designed by people who have special skills. Fonts can take months and years to develop.
Footballers are paid what they are paid, because they are the only ones who can do what they do. Specialist Doctors, paid more for what they know and can do.
Some Font designers do it for the love of doing it, and thus you have Free Fonts available on the net. If font design was such an easy thing, no-one would pay for them to be made, and prices wouldn't be so high.
How do you make a font! I'd love to do that! I'd use it all of the time. I'd do all my homework in my font! It would be such a good skill for money. As pointed out in this thread.
Martin, I know you do font design! Is it really hard? I imagine you have to develop a uniform, universal rule, sumin' like:
"curves in letters thin, 'til the apex, then thicken to end." or:
"straight lines widen, then narrow.".
Am I right? Which programs would one use?
