    Okay, to confuse you completely: as a foundry I am no so happy about my fonts floating around the interwebs, ripped or shared alike, not sure what is worse for business...

    As a user I am glad that I can test drive the fonts before I buy them, without any restrictions. Not many foundries would give you demo fonts.

    • every foundry i have ever contacted has provided me with a sampleversion3
    • ask and explain and you will receive somethingversion3
    • like a word or a paragraph, this level of service makes me a buyerversion3
    • yeah, I mean just give me the full unrestricted font, or the whole family for that matter. and I don't have to provide arguments why I didn't stick with the font in the end. Did you ask H&FJ? They'd ROFLjimbojones
