Doesn't it just KILL you when you find fonts you love, and they are commercial? Check out these wonderful fonts that I won't buy!

P22 Dearest

and

P22 Garamouche

akk-akk-akk-I want them!

I'm wondering why you won't buy them if you love them?

I've always loved that Garamouche too!

I'm sure it's frustrating for Ronna to see this because she designs beautiful fonts also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also am not able to spend $20 on one font- not to say it's not worth it- I'm sure that there is a lot of effort put into the design! More than I know!

But for me it's:
Hmmmmmm should I buy this package of diapers or this one font????? Money is tooooo tight!

Money's always tight for me as well and $20 for a font is something to consider, for sure. I can understand not buying a font because you *can't*, but I just wondered why she *won't*!!!

I own both and they are very cool!

Oh, it's can't because I can't justify spending $50 for fonts because I want them - 'specially when I'm not sure where the kids' tuition is going to come from next year.

But, I posted them b/c they're so cool - maybe someone else will want them. I think the commercial font foundries need to be supported (or else why would they ever offer free fonts!

)

They are really cool, huh?

Erica, it depends on the License Agreement. I've never heard of an agreement in which you can buy a font to share amongst friends. There is such a thing as a multi-user license which grants a company the right to use the font on several computers at the same site. But this wouldn't work in a case where the font would be shared on computers at different locations.

Again, it depends on the agreement. I've never bought a 2Peas font so I don't know how agreeable they are to having a font shared amongst friends, even if the friends pooled their money to buy it. Even some freeware/shareware font foundries won't let you do that.
