How can I contact Willy Mac

Aug 28, 2013 at 04:50

I would like to use Willy Mac fonts in my digital scrapbook creations. There is no TOU or contact info in the file downloads. Can someone please tell me how to contact Willy Mac?

I doubt you will be able to locate Karla, author of the WillyMac fonts.

There are 55 WillyMac dingbat fonts, all made in 2001-2002. They were originally available at http://www.willymac.us/fonts/dingbat-fonts.html , but that site was closed in Spring, 2003. From June, 2003, they were available through the Moss Valley Dingbat Links (or MVDL) at Dingbats-UK. Dingbats-UK went offline sometime in 2008 or 2009. Since 2003, they have been posted on a number of other font download sites.

My information comes from AJ, the former Webmistress of Dingbats-UK, who wrote the read me for the download from that site.

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.

I read through the comments but I just want to be sure I understand the licensing rules. Since she originally did not give commercial license for the download, and there's no way to contact her, I cannot use her fonts for anything outside of personal use. Is that correct?

I hope someone that knows more than I can let us know but I seem to recall something about a law stating something about fonts made prior to 2005 that were abandoned or did not have a licence specified would be considered OK for commercial use.

You must have misinterpreted. There is no such law.
