13lah, (if you are on a PC with Windows), it depends on which Internet browser you are using. If you are using Internet Explorer, the Save As dialog box should open when you click the 'save' button on the download, then you chose the folder where you would like to save them. If you are using Mozilla Firefox, the downloaded files, (by default), will go in the Downloads folder in My Documents, If you're using a Mac, I don't know where they go.

Kai, I looked at the sample page prepared by Rodolphe, and here are my comments:

1) I like the design of the B,C,D,E, F, G, J and L, but the rest of the caps are unremarkable.

2) f and y in lower case look interesting.

3) As Rodolphe mentioned, there are inconsistencies in the widths of some of the characters, notably the c, e, r, s, u, and v, the right side of the m, and n, and the bottom of the z. All of these inconsistencies will be magnified at smaller point sizes.

4) It's hard to tell from the sample page if the spacing between letters is consistent, or if you have been consistent with the ascenders and descenders.

5) My overall impression is that you didn't spend a lot of time making this font. Keep at it, though. Most amateur font makers experience a learning curve, as they find more efficient ways to perform the same task, and by not making the same mistakes again.

What we don't know is the ratio between submitted fonts and fonts that are accepted by dafont. I would think that at least a third, (if not more), of the submitted fonts would not be accepted, and many of those would be handwriting fonts not terribly different from yours.

Other than opening an account at deviantART, as suggested by Rodolphe, You might consider submitting it at fontspace. New fonts appear there within minutes of being submitted. It's free to join. Don't expect huge download numbers over there, though. If this is any indication, of the two fonts I have up on both dafont and fontspace, the download figures are twenty-seven to thirty-five times larger at dafont.

KaiM, look at post #2 from Rodolphe, (he's the dafont webmaster). Your font has not been accepted, because it is 'not clean enough', so it won't be posted here. You also get an e-mail only if your font is accepted. Unlike some other sites, where all submitted fonts are accepted, dafont has a screening process in which the fonts are judged on merit as well as compatibility with various operating systems, before the accepted fonts are posted.

Submitted fonts can be rejected by dafont for a number of reasons. If you make a dingbat font with only one glyph, it won't be accepted. If the graphics are too complex to be resolved when ClearType is enabled, the font wont be accepted, and if the quality of the workmanship is sub par, in the opinion of the webmaster, it won't be posted.

Perhaps you might consider uploading your font on a free distribution site, like sharebee.com, and post a download link in this thread. Then some of the people reading the forum may download it, and perhaps offer you some comments about your work.

Several of the fonts I've submitted to dafont have been rejected for having single glyphs or for overly complex subject matter, which prompted me to make cleaner fonts. I'll give you an honest critique of your work, if you give us a link where it can be downloaded.
