I'm not sure if we can post links in the forum but these are relevant for the post to make sense. But long story short, up until recently a free font site deleted my entire catalog of fonts.. Two of my fonts were in the top 10 of most downloaded fonts. I have no idea what I did to the webmaster of the site, I don't know him personally so that level of hate is very worrisome and creeps me the hell out. And I'm no expert when it comes to legal matters, but I know full well deleting users content (fonts) for no valid reason is illegal, it falls under discrimination and serious things like that. And keep in mind the webmaster of the site published many of them himself, and it was he who contacted me asking if he could publish my fonts on his website. But anyways the links below I find amusing considering. And just for the record I will be speaking to an attorney about this matter next week.. If dafont did the same, I think I would literally have to stop creating fonts. As a font designer, we have to rely on them for traffic for commercial license sales.

When people record themselves on a website using your font then later the webmaster of that site deletes your entire catalog.. (Mona Shark font) LOL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAEc0Ucf4uY And when the webmaster deletes all your fonts even after featuring a couple of them in a promo video! You can't make this up.. LOL. (Art Brewery font, and Admiration Pains font) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co-wgbWoyft/

I guess the real point to this post is, if it can happen to me it can happen to anybody! But know, this sort of thing should not be happening, it is illegal to be singled out and mistreated. And I believe my fellow designers have a right to be aware of what is happening to some of us. It is so disappointing to say the least.

I hear ya. But hang in there! What I'm more concerned about is whether or not everyone is given a fair shake, whereas all designers are treated fairly and the fonts are published in the order they are received.

Fire and Ice fonts. I don't care for ice fonts, but Fire! Who wants to see more Fire fonts!?

Apparently this is just the norm now for some of us. But over a year? Damn, hopefully they were not seasonal fonts you submitted.. That would suck! But the website has grown immensely over the years.. I think there was only like 10 or 15K fonts on the site when I first started. Now I think there is over 140K fonts.. That's a heck of a lot of submissions to sort through and validate. For the record, I've been waiting a month or 3 for some of mine to be published.

I don't know the image requirements for the identity forum, but maybe try uploading the original file, instead of a cropped image?

They look too small, and the second one is blurry.

Doesn't really look good, does it?

Sure, but it's 2021 dude! (thats the closest to a laughing face I could find)

Why isn't there an option to delete a comment, but only an option to edit?

DELETED

Saharandreams, You are 100% correct, better moderation is needed. Many people in your field use this website, and so do many children.

If your youtube video is monetized, or you profit in anyway through promotion/advertising then it is classed as commercial use and not personal.

Is that even possible? To create a font that functions/compatible with a cricut? What I do is type the text in Illustrator and create an SVG file..

Hey dafont, I have a suggestion. Maybe consider sending out an automated email response to let designers know you received their font submissions, and then may be point out the possible wait times for approval. Naturally, those that have waited weeks/months will begin to assume you never received them and resubmit.

Carvente, That would be a shame, you do nice work and it should be shared with the masses!

I've been made to wait months for approval. It's very frustrating considering it was never liked this when I first joined the site. Even more frustrating when you do this for a living.

Looks like one of mine..

No worries. I don't mind being patient. It's just disappointing to think that some fonts are being added before mine that were uploaded after mine were. I may be wrong but thats what it seems like judging by other font sites upload dates. So you can imagine why I began to get concerned. But again no worries and cheers for updating my True Lies font info. That was the only one, but I would like to change some more in the future.. Thanks!

Maybe the paid version will fix that issue? However, all letters should type properly even the demo version... Well spotted!
