- Hi
-
- I have been asked to post this by a friend who does not have access to
- the net. Could anyone who can help please e-mail me?
-
- --------
- I have designed an original and unusual font, which is based on the
- Roman alphabet and includes the full extended character set as defined
- by MS Windows. I have a large software corporation interested in buying
- it for one of their packages and have no idea what scale of payment
- would be reasonable to expect.
-
- Is there anyone who could give me specific advice on remuneration,
- linked to: Copyright (eg what countries to allow and over what period);
- royalties (should I expect this given the font is a small part of this
- package).
-
- How do I ensure that I am protected and can sell to more than one
- company - or to non-software companies who deal in fonts (some publishers
- are interested in the font too).
-
- Toni Olivier
- --------
-
- Thanks - if you know of a better place to make this sort of request that
- would help too.
-
- Tim
