    first, i should say i can understand why people would get bummed at designers panhandling for fonts on this board

    that said

    i wonder if font designers
    "trade fonts"

    my money says they do
    maybe not on nt
    but believe you me
    they doin it

    but seriously, unless i own a marketing firm with a swell markup, how in the hell can i afford to pay for every font and font family?
    there are so many things i need to buy and want to buy between pay periods. and dropping 30-100 bucks on fonts doesnt rank very high in my budget.

    the correct way is to send the client to the websites that display the fonts i would like for them to choose from. then purchase it. but ive found finding a client to do that are far and few between. most just want us to design shit for them.

    ug, its a complicated mess
    i guess i'll proudly bear the cross of a font swapping scoundrel
