    MX - That's a valid question. Fonts are very different from other software in that they are not activated by serials or kraks. They are either originals or knockoffs/copies/recreations.

    Fonts can be recreated by pirates in many ways. They can be scanned from specimen books and made into new font files or they can be extracted from documents in which they are embedded - most commonly PDFs.

    It's very possible that the Neo Sans in question was extracted from a PDF which did not contain all the font's characters. That would explain the missing glyphs.
