- I've downloaded them and looked at em, and they do appear to be
- Adobe issue. I believe Garamond is a very specific font by Adobe, and all
- of them seem to be of REALLY high (read Commercial) quality. I downloaded
- the earlier known PD/Shareware fonts, and none of them look as good as
- these. Also, most PD/Shareware fonts aren't designed as something you would
- write a book in, while these things are (for the most part), text you would
- use for good looking titles or printing. Furthermore, they are whole font
- families, in many cases including bold and italic. Most PD/Shareware fonts
- seem to be just one typeface. I'm quite suspicios.
-
- Glen, are you out there? Could someone please definatly tell us the
- status of these fonts?
-
- On a related topic, can you buy individual font families, and if so,
- how much are they? (If Brush Script is Adobe issue, I'd like a ligit copy
- of it, and I am also intersted in getting the Sonata font. The rest of the
- fonts I could cair less about. I'm a Times/Courier kinda guy.)
