Want to see his heart stop when you tell him how much Illustrator is?

Meta, I was only trying to explain the point of 'commercial use' not necessarily meaning 'cash exchanged'. A lot of people don't understand that distinction - and it CAN bite some people on the ass if they cross the line with a particularly nasty resource creator. Generally speaking, I wouldn't care about such use - but I admit when I see my fonts used HEAVILY for similar purposes on sites where guys sell pictures... I get a little irked.

Melon, you don't have to actually make money to be a 'commercial use'. That's a misnomer a lot of people have. If you're redistributing to the public at large, it's commercial. So if it's more than for friends and family, you'll want to check in with the font producer to see if it's kosher to use it. Really, though, most fonts you'll find on this site are more than affordable - give up a little coin and save yourself hassle.

Generally font-designers are generous when it comes to non-profits, but I wouldn't take that as gospel. I handle non-profits on a case-by-case base, and then generally only give a break to actual charitable organizations. If there's ever any doubt, always ask.

I guess I can say one thing.. most countries have the good sense to be embarrassed by their idiots and assholes. Americans make them into television programming...

And, not really. Tourists, Hollywood, and the internet are NOT good measures of what Americans are like. You see the most spoiled and entitled of us and they're presented as representative of EVERYONE here.

But it could be a lot worse. Could be Spain.

I don't think it's a matter of 'can' so much as it being a matter of 'want'.

Holy crap that's expensive. No wonder people wanted me to make it...

I blame Obama.

I've made a version of this one, largely for Bioware fans (the new Dragon Age uses this a lot in its advertiing). I uploaded it here, but the vacation period got it lost in the shuffle.

Per hour, maybe, and it's not that much of an advantage... but France has so fewer hours... It also doesn't help that since 2008, our slowdown has turned into a quagmire. :S

Amusingly, a few years ago the French government put out a study that said French workers were not as productive as American workers. The response? More than a few worker's unions in France went on strike in protest...

Not a font. Heavily modified from a 'source' font, with a lot of added flourishes and detailing. A font from it would have to be custom made.

I thought France had a 30 minute workday, on Tuesdays.. and that's it?

Actually, Kat, if they're paying you to be AWAY from them for 11 weeks...

July and August seem to be vacation months for DaFont, and there hasn't been a lot of updates for anyone, accordingly. Just try to be patient, or take the opportunity to improve your font in the meantime.

Geronimo, you're not in a position to really diss anyone when it comes to fonts, considering yours goes from awful to a few acceptable ones, and most of those use an online font creation tool and are unrefined. What do you think you're trying to accomplish?

You had to know that was coming...

You know, going on to a site dominated by font creators, giving us all the middle fingers, assuming we're all rich millionaires out to gouge you, and demanding to be able to pirate fonts because '$30' is just too damn much money for you is NOT likely to endear you to anyone here.

I can do it easily.. but this may sound a little crass. If you're really starting up a gaming business and you're going to make your own custom fonts, then the modest fee for FontCreator is something you really should scrape together and get out of the way. Trying to do everything 'on the free' on your end of the business really will keep you at amateur status. So buy what you need, even if you have to sell blood a few times.
