Captchas would probably annoy human visitors even more than having to register, and I'm pretty sure that these webmasters do it manually (perhaps not when they build the site, but at each update...)


Yes that annoys me, and I'm even more annoyed when they also clone the site layout and programming, but the fact is that I don't imagine one second losing my time and energy tracking the new clones + their further updates and the updates of the existing ones, sending them letters for each added font etc. And even if I did it, only the most honnest ones would respond anyway.
I've seen tons of clones in the past years, they usually live a few months/years and then disappear, and new ones appear... I don't care since they stay in deep of the Google results.


I'm not certain of the efficiency of a petition, but why not...
(and I think like the others that filling/updating the readme files and font fields with your conditions is the basic thing to do)

It's mentionned (as daaams said) when you press the submit button.


I'll consider that later (I have other prior things to do) but anyway you probably won't receive an email in real time, but once I have tested it on the site (for most of the fonts this is done a few days before an update)

The lines are too trembling, the edges are not clear enough, the thickness is too different...

I know that there are many fonts on this site with raw edges, grunge effects and everything, but it's often most a desired style then this one that seems less controlled...
Well, it's just my impression, I'm not a specialist. The fact is that handwritten fonts are by far the ones that I receive the most, and I finally put a very few part of them (those that I like the most and/or that are clean enough)
I'm very sorry
Perhaps you could upload it at websites like deviantART that doesn't make any selection (unless I'm wrong)

Here is a test page (will be deleted before next update) for those that wish to comment.

C'est la police de Dark Crystal (qui a figuré ici pendant des lustres mais qui a du être enlevée)

Evidemment elle est toujours téléchargable sur d'autres sites, par exemple ce clone de dafont http://refont.com/show.php?t=1&get=2&font=dark-crystal.font

usually about 1 month...

Authors receive a confirmation email once when they have fonts online, otherwise no email is sent.

Hello, this one is not accepted (not clean enough...) Sorry

Hello, I understand that you are angry, but it's impossible to totally control the spreading of the fonts (or any downloadable thing on the internet...)

And if the downloads were restricted to registered members only, this wouldn't stop anything, this would only cause the end of dafont (99% of the visitors would go at the other sites where they can freely download it) and the progress of the other sites in the Google results, those that you don't like and that sometimes don't mention the author and/or remove the text files (I'm not talking about the serious sites like www.abstractfonts.com, www.1001fonts.com or www.fontspace.com)

Concerning "pursues", it's useless since:
1. there are also some fonts here that have not been uploaded by the authors themselves,
2. dafont doesn't own any rights on the fonts,
3. even if it owned something, I don't have the time and the money to sue.

So my only matter is that dafont stays in the first results when you google for "font" or "fonts" (before the other sites that you don't like)
And in your interest you may focus on this too Well, dafont or the other serious sites like I said, that credit you etc., in order to assure that a maximum of people are aware of the author...

Which Mac? If it is Mac OS X that should work, but if it is an old Mac OS 8/9 you have to convert them.

No matter what is written on the download button, the text has been simplified but they still work on OS X.

Better late than never.

I would say Raphael, but expanded...

Wé, mais ça vaut pas celle à Linotype (surtout pour la mise en forme)

Ok thank you, I've updated the FAQ.

(well, the responses )

Ravi que tu sois ravi

Perhaps you use a trial version of Winzip or something that has expirated... try to open them with the default unzip tool.

Under Windows:
Right-click on a zip > Open with... > Compressed folders,
and don't forget to check the box at the bottom that says something like "always open this type of file with this program", so that next time you double click on a zip, it will automatically open it with Windows.
