I’ll definitely be keeping copies of all the correspondence, I know there is a risk they can change their mind if I do use it before obtaining the licence but this font was for creating and selling only 1 product type So it was a limited requirement. I guess we will just keep our fingers and toes crossed that they are still okay with the agreement 🤞

Thanks for all advice with this Toto 😊

I will definitely be doing this from future. I have been lucky that fonts I have purchased in the past have gone through without an issue and communication between and the designer was fine, very friendly and polite.
I advised I would send the donation and then suddenly it went quiet.
I contacted a few days later to check that they were still fine with the agreed amount and I’ve had no answer back since them.

I’ve been in contact 3x now asking if everything is okay to get the licence but so far, no word.

I will give them until the end of the week before I call it a lost cause - I’m not angry, just very disappointed if I have been scammed ☹️ Keeping an open mind that it is just delayed 🤞

Hi,
I’m wondering if anyone had ever encountered a designer who asked for donationware for a commercial licence?
I sent a donation at the end of last week after talking to the author and agreeing a price and I’ve never received the licence and I’ve had no contact back to emails.
I’m assuming I still don’t have authorisation to use the font until I receive their agreement 😒

Hi,
I’m making a personal card but it could lead to a few sales (nothing major as I’m a small time seller)
However, I want to do things right.

I can see the Gabriel Weiss is a great friends font but I like the Gregor Miller, however, after looking into it, I can’t find any info about contacting for a commercial licence or any way to find him.

Does anyone know if this really is a free font or if there is a contact website I can get for him.

Thanks

Perfect Marty!
This is exactly what I was looking for.
I had a feeling that purchasing from a third party could dent their profits so would prefer to purchase direct

Thanks so much

Hi,
This is a very novice question I’m afraid, so I apologise in advance...

I have a small stationery business which I’ve ran for a year now and it’s been going well around the local regions but I now want to expand a bit more.

I have been very lucky to have found fonts which are free when I began that allows me to use these commercially which has helped with start up costs but now I am wanting to start purchasing popular fonts - however, I have no clue where to go / what’s official etc and don’t want to buy a useless licence from the wrong source.

Could anyone give me any advice on sites which are legit or where to find font creator websites so that I can purchase the licences.

Also, when perusing a font website to look into purchasing a font I like (burgues script) it came up with so many different options 😱. I want to make sure I am selecting the correct licence to allow me to print these commercially for sale as well as advertise on my website

Any advice would be very much appreciated
