Hidden file extensions make it easier to rename files. Most people can recognize a file type by the icon.

Try using the screenshot capture feature in VLC Media Player. It will save a .png image in your My Pictures folder with the same sized dimensions as your video file. It's very possible that you did not enlarge the image manually, but alt prntscrn may have, automatically. When I did screen captures using [b}ATI File Player[/b], it always saved the image as a 24 bit bitmap, with 1024 x 768 dimensions, regardless of the actual dimensions of the video being captured.

HaajaSparx, Astigmatic One Eye Font Foundry released a large number of both Free and Shareware fonts from 1996 to 2004. Haunt AOE is one of the free fonts. Go ahead and use it for your book.

Here is the text of the 1997 and 1998 AOE read me documents. Keep in mind the text was written a long time ago, so the contact information is unlikely to be current. The terms for commercial use apply to the shareware fonts:

I think you should let someone who uses a Mac operating system answer this. The font is not overyly 'heavy', (382 kb), and it was not "created just with a conversion from scan".

The font works fine with Windows. I have no way to test it, for Mac.

~bobistheowl, (designer of ObeyPatterns)

http://apexembdesigns.com/embroidery-font-172-empire-monogram-large-6-inch

Easily found on any search engine.

AaronC, if you click on the New Fonts link, in the upper right hand section of the window, you'll see a link for more options. Click on that, and you can filter the results to show or hide fonts based on the license type, (ie: show only Free, or Public Domain, etc.).

You can search for commercial fonts by name at fonts.com or myfonts.com from DaFont, using this link: http://www.dafont.com/search.php?q=xxxx - replace the 'xxxx' in the search query with the name of the font you're looking for.

If you want to browse commercial fonts available on DaFont, you won't find any. A commercial font must be purchased before you can download it. Every font hosted by DaFont can be downloaded for free, and can be used for personal use, without charge. Some, but not all, of the fonts available at DaFont require a payment for non personal use. This payment would be made from the user to the designer; DaFont is not a party, in the payment process.

The major difference between sites like Dafont and myfonts is how payment for commercial use is made. Myfonts collects payments on behalf of the designers they represent. DaFont does not. The only people who pay money to Dafont are the advertisers, whose banners are displayed on each page, (unless you click the hide ads link). The designers whose work is hosted by DaFont don't pay to have their work showcased, and DaFont doesn't pay them to display their work. DaFont doesn't pay anyone, including the forum moderators, (except for the cost of hosting a website that uses huge amounts of upload bandwidth).

Here's how to change the vertical metrics with FontLab Studio5:

1. Decide what will be the height of your caps. It is 700 by default in Fontlab.

2. Get the current caps height of your font. Get it from the letters with flat tops like the E, F, etc.

3. Divide the large caps height by the new caps height that you want (ex 700) and then multiply that by 1000. You can either round that figure or just drop the decimals.

4. Open Font Info and click on Metrics and Dimensions. Enter the number you got in #3 in the UPM size box and make sure that scale all glyphs check box is unchecked. Click on apply.

5. Change the UPM size to 1000 and click on the scale all glyphs check box. The check box should have a check on it. Click on Apply.

6. Expand Metrics and Dimensions. Fontlab will automatically update Key Dimensions during the UPM change so there's nothing to change here. However, it does not update the value in "True Type specific metrics". So select "True Type specific metrics" and then select "Set custom values". Click on recalculate and then select "Calculate values automatically" and that will dim all values. Despite its name, the values in "True Type specific metrics" affects all fonts, not just TTF, generated by Fontlab. Even if the values set there are dimmed, those are still used by Fontlab. If you don't change the values here, the font's line height will still be the same as that of the large letters. Click OK when done.

6. See your flat topped glyphs. Their height should be at 700 (or your desired new caps height) or a unit above or below it, depending what you did in #3.

Thanks to Toto@K22 for the tutorial.

Try copy/ pasting the .ttf file into the Fonts folder in your operating system.

Landliebe is a free font the guy made in 2001. Just use it.

I don't agree - I think he just wants a commercial license. I can see how his request could be interpreted both ways, but I think my understanding of the nuances of Canadian colloquial grammar exceeds yours.

Look at the icons of the files in the download .zip. If the icon looks like two overlapping capital letters T, it's a font. If it looks like a stenographer's pad, it's a text document. Text documents open with Notepad. Font files don't, unless you right-click the font file, and select Open with -> Notepad.

If the font is designated as free or public domain, you can use it for your business logo without first obtaining permission from the designer. In these cases, it would be good etiquette to inform the designer of how you plan to use their work, but that would be optional on your part.

If the font is designated as free for personal use or donationware, the terms for commercial use should be contained in a supplemental file in the download .zip file, or in the Note of the author section on the details page, (click on the banner with the text display of the font name to go to the details page).

If the terms of use are not defined in one or both of those locations, click on the designer's name on the details page. This will show you his/her/their home page, and links to see their profile, or to send them a private message.

If there is no indication of the terms of use, make a new post in this thread, with the name of the font and a link to the details page, and someone may be able to assist you. Your inquiry is too vague for anyone to provide a direct answer that would apply to all fonts hosted by DaFont.

In all cases where a payment is required to use a font commercially, the payment is made by the user to the designer. DaFont does not sell fonts, nor does it collect money on behalf of the designers whose work is hosted here. In some cases, however, there will be a link to which payment for commercial use can be made through PayPal, or a similar online account.

That makes sense. I was thinking that people who are drunk slur their speech when they talk, but not when they type.

The only German I know is Schnell!, for when the guy who lives in the basement isn't shoveling the coal fast enough.

Menhir meant better when he said besser. He wasn't drunk, just French.

ForeverAri921, AJ's e-mail address was mv.dings@tiscali.co.uk, but I haven't had any correspondence with her in almost six years, so the address might now be inactive. Even then, she didn't have any contact information for Karla.

Twenty-nine of the WillyMac fonts are available on DaFont, http://www.dafont.com/willymac.d527. The entire collection of 55 WillyMac fonts can be found at Fontspace http://www.fontspace.com/willymac, but she didn't upload them herself.

Fonts with a JI prefix are usually by Jeri Ingalls, (Jeri's Fonts). There's no mention of Nearly on the Luc Devroye page: http://luc.devroye.org/fonts-32181.html

There is a font called JI Nearly available on one of download sites on the shit list.

Jeri Ingalls did a lot of dingbats and letterbats, and a few standard alphabet fonts about 10-12 years ago. From the read me docs I have, they were Free for Personal Use, but the commercial use terms aren't mentioned.



Fonts with a JI- prefix are from Jupiter Images Corporation. I have quite a few of them. They appear to be knock-offs, for the most part. JI-Schrod:



Looks an awful lot like Fontdinerdotcom: http://www.dafont.com/fontdinerdotcom.font?text=JI-Schrod&back=author

@Jay0973: Diogenes is a Free font. All of the Apostrophic Labs fonts are free. If you want the specific terms of use, here they are: http://www.myfonts.com/foundry/Apostrophic_Labs/

"The fonts from Apostrophic Laboratories are freeware and can be used as they are in any context without permission from Apostrophic Laboratories, except to produce material that is racist, criminal and/or illegal in nature." .

(You could have easily found this Myfonts link yourself, on any search engine).

I think the only other condition is that you must read the read me text document, and from an earlier post of yours, you've already done this.

You can use the following guidelines for other fonts:

If the font is identified as Free, you can use commercially, without asking for, or receiving permission from the designer. If the designer has contact information in DaFont, they would likely appreciate receiving an e-mail with an image of how you used their font, but that's just common courtesy, not a mandatory requirement. The user DOES NOT have the right to modify a Free font, nor can the user rename the Free font, and claim that it is their personal creation.

Most fonts made prior to 2008 were either Free or Commercial, with a small number being Shareware, (similar to Free for Personal Use, but with a small fee, usually $5 - $10, for a commercial use license).

If the font is Free for Personal Use, the definition of personal use, and the licensing fee, will vary from font to font, and may be dependent on the type of commercial use for which the font is to be used. For example, If a film studio wanted to use the font for movie titles, they might pay a higher fee than someone who wants to print a flyer for an Indy rock band that plays gigs for beer.

If the font is Donationware, you need to pay something to the author, or to some agency designated by the author, but the amount is variable, and determined by the person who is using the font commercially.

If the font is Public Domain, consider it to be the same as a free font, with, (often), the additional option for the user to have the right to modify the font, (ie: you could create additional glyphs, perhaps with an accent added to an upper or lower case letter).

If the font is Commercial, you have to pay a fee before you can download the font, and the terms of commercial use should ALWAYS be clearly and specifically defined.

If the terms of use are not clearly spelled out in one or more files contained in a download .zip from DaFont, you NEED to contact the author ONLY IF the font is Free for Personal Use or Donationware.

One other general rule, regarding the DaFont forums: You should generally disregard advice from any poster who uses smilies in lieu of text. You should pay more attention to posters who use bold text, for emphasis.

As you probably already know, smilies are for teenage girls sending text messages to each other on mobile phones. For some reason, people from Europe think smilies are cool, like wearing a thong swimsuit at the beach, regardless of their level of physical conditioning. No doubt, they are probably the same people still doing the Mexican Wave at concerts and sporting events.
