I uploaded my first "font" to dafonts about a month ago. I designated it as donationware with the hopes of having a few bucks thrown my way every once in a while. I never had high hopes and never expected to get rich, but I did expect something. So far after 5,000+ downloads I have not received one cent.
I have always donated a few bucks when I have used fonts from dafont for my own design projects. My thinking was that the font designer would be receiving donations from a good number of people and a small donation would be suitable. Now that I know that nearly no one donates I will try to raise the donation amount that I give to other font authors.
For my own future font design projects, I will try and find a new way to distribute them that makes it worth my time and creativity .
Update: Now when I go to fonts101 and to my font and click on the Report button it doesn't work.
Works on all other fonts, just not mine.
These guys are true a-holes.
Thanks for the tip! I will make this update and also do this for future works.
@koelekat, I'm not expecting a response from Pak in the middle of the night, but sometime within a day or two would be nice. I've been sending messages for days now.
Thanks for the info. I have used report button several times now and received no response. Just tried again.
My first "font" was uploaded to dafont.com a week ago. It was taken by fonts101 and is being redistributed without my permission. I have sent numerous notices and received no response from fonts101.
Anyone have the same problem?
