I really need help! I cannot find the author of the font is Dark11. It is found for free all over the internet. There is no author name in the .ttf file. Licensing rights on the font do not allow embedding (for commercial print). I've have spent 2 days trying to find who the author is. There is no other font like this. It was created in 1997. I opened up the .ttf and changed the licensing rights to embed, but I am scared my client may get in trouble if I use it. HELP?? Would you use it? Should I use it? Suggestions. Input. Anything? Many thanks in advance.

It's a copy of Mason Serif.

I spent two days looking - you must be a mad font genius! Thank you!!! Can you tell me how you found it so that in the future, if this happens again, I'll know how to find what I am looking for? Just have to say thank you again! You saved my butt! Cheers.
