/a and /e are different each time therefore likely hand written, even though /Lo has terrible letter spacing.

The weight of the letters and letter spacing varies so seems prepared by a manual typewriter.

For instance, the 1999 program The Font Thing only works with ttf extensions. If you simply rename the font from xxx.otf to xxx.ttf everything works.

Lauren. Thanks for the note. I can't think it would do any good trying to defend yourself against the drive-by pot shots. A lawsuit probably wouldn't work because they don't speak for Typophile. They are letting their "noses" drive their brains. Very "boy like". Hah.

You might contact the moderator to ask for an explanation. Or not... DPape

16/02/2013 a las 20:24 [respuesta] two different fonts, same font name... installation issues

Windows is saying the names are the same. You have to uninstall one to get the other installed. Windows does not look at the design or anything other than the name.

The only way to get them both in together is if the (internal) names are different. Takes a font editor to do it.

16/02/2013 a las 03:20 [respuesta] A plain font with a capital "I" that has horizontal arms?

There are innumerable sans serif fonts where uc /I has arms.

For one:
Harcourt Education/HeinemannSpecial-Roman [[http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/fw-heinemann/heinemann-special/]]

Here are some more names -- other than the armed /I and being sans serif I know nothing about any of them:

Krebs, Manuel/Replica-Mono
Kreative Software/Miranda 25
A Lee/Ongdalsam
Global Village/FocalPoint On Line
Excalibur Monospace

16/02/2013 a las 03:03 [respuesta] Ethics of Similarity

Gentlemen:

I have recently been involved in a series of discussions about fonts which appear to be similar to other, more expensive fonts and would like some counsel.

If a Dafont font is similar in design/style to another more famous font does Dafont filter these out of the catalog? Is there some threshold filter, automatic or procedural, to eliminate too-looks-a-like? If an outsider suggested a Dafont font is derivative, at some level, is there a process to verify this allegation?

Rhetorical: Is there a way to break the knees of someone who cries "fraud" too often via email?
