Hi, I am a font designer. I want to say I don't like how dafont.com works.
Uploading fonts is stressful, the system allows mistakes. I submitted the wrong image file, I'm waiting 2 weeks for the admin to update, no response. Why does the admin even care about images? Why can I change it in real-time?
Also, there are problems with updating font files, several times the admin did not update my font files. Customers asking why A letter looks different in free and commercial versions.... BECAUSE I can not update font files on dafont.com. Dafont is like a prison, if you want to move something you have to ask permission of the security administration and it takes weeks. I can not update name of my foundry, no result. Updating system makes dafont.com a very uncomfortable website.
FOR EXAMPLE, on CreativeMarket.com, I can update, change everything I want in real-time and I don't need to ask permission from administration and this is more serious website than dafont.com, coz CreativeMarket.com selling fonts, people paying money for fonts.
I've got the same problem. I wrote the Admin a month ago because I can't update my font over my account. I've still got no reply.
@Andrikos: The image you submitted is a jpeg that has been saved as a PNG, which is not allowed as stated on the font submission page: "JPGs converted in PNG will be rejected as well, you must export to PNG the original, undamaged file". The system may not be perfect, but I just checked and all your updates over the past have always been treated within two days. Font files have always been updated as you wished, except on one occasion when you tried to add "NOT FREE" to the name of the font.
