I find that highly unlikely someone would go to the effort of doing that for both neosans and neotech and for all their defferent weights plus italics.
I think its a legitimately flakey postscript. Remember - two unrelated people are having the same problem.

MX - You are very right. It's easy to copy. Most common form of font piracy. Happens all the time. Even on this here damn forum. But that requires that the font be purchased first. Surprisingly some fonts have very few sales, which means very little piracy. Neo Sans, though, is not one of those.
rasko - True dat. I don't want to be accusatory, but it's just as likely that two parties have the same pirated copy. If somebody has licensed Neo from FontShop and is experiencing the prob I'll happily get our tech support folks on the job.
But like I said, I don't see the problem in the Neo font files available at FontShop.com.

I'll try and find out if someone knows where it's from, unlikely though knowing this place - thanks

I really liked the typeface TDR used in the 2D/3D book, so rather than buy it, which at the time, i don't think was even available, I redrew it in 2 weights, with a normal and rounded version, but alas I never finished the full character set and never actually brought it in to fontographer or fontlab...
So yes, i can attest to the lenghts certain fools will go to to avoid purchasing a font...

most designers live on the edge and use black market fonts, it's time they got arrested for handling stolen goods.

Meh, it ain't illegal til the font is actually used in in a [preferably commercial] piece, imo.
I've just now tried NeoSans and Tech in Freehand, and they ..er.. work.
I'm now wondering whether my geriatric copy of Illy might need updating? *sigh*
(and they wonder why people copy things?!)
