    Ok, I think we have guessed that ye have never had to buy fonts, and that this bargain isn't for you.

    Why not post in here, telling everybody that you don't need glasses?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 631 ✭✭✭FatB


    Thanks, just saved me 50 from a font I wanted to use commercially <3

    No. Usual checkout procedure, but without any payment details.

    If you want to be really lazy, use BugMeNot for a login.

    Nah, I'm being nice today. Here it is.
    And, with love, I have created a webfonts of them, so you can start using them online right away.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,927 ✭✭✭paddyp


    The licence doesn't cover webfont use from what I read though?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 751 ✭✭✭dozy doctor


    Thanks OP :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 105 ✭✭the_freaky_one


    I will never have a need for Neue Frutiger Heavy fonts but the urge not to miss out on something has me downloading them...

    No, they don't. But, as with everything, use at your own risk. It is just a font.
    Besides, I don't think it will be found out.

    Licence doc attached. 5 user licence.

    you can only use the font as images.
    It's the drug pusher model, the first hit is free
    You may embed the Font Software only into an electronic document that (i) is not
    a Commercial Product, (ii) is distributed in a secure format that does not permit the extraction of
    the embedded Font Software,

    You may embed static graphic images into anelectronic document, including a Commercial
    Product, (for example, a “gif”) with a representation of a typeface and typographic design or
    ornament created with the Font Software as longas such images are not used as a replacement
    for Font Software, i.e. as long as the representations do not correspond to individual glyphs of
    the Font Software and may notbe individually addressed by the document to render such
    designs and ornaments.


    Here's a selection of free fonts with less restrictive licenses

    It is just a font. :eek:

    Regardless, copyright and licensing laws apply.
    IIRC up to €100,000 / 5 years in prison (so could make a citizens arrest ?)

    What is the legal position on advocating someone to do this ?????


    The music and film industry make stuff after a few year is "just a disk on the cover of a newspaper" and they are still pushing for "forever less a day"
