MikeW Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 2 hours ago, Michael S Harvey said: Two font libraries of freeware fonts from old CDROMS. Most of these fonts are incomplete as far as glyphs go. They were purchased on freeware discs and are uploaded here for your pleasure. I only kept the TrueType versions and not the adobe fonts (sorry Mac users). I do have other collections from old applications but I am not sure of the legality of sharing those so I will avoid doing so. You should probably remove these. The font library, Fontlibrary1222.zip, are a set of fonts that were stolen back in the day: http://luc.devroye.org/fonts-27207.html SSi was a notorious thief, among other things.

Interesting I bought the disk from W H Smith back in the day. Who knew they were selling stolen goods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 And you added a urw set of fonts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 They are free URW fonts according to the text in the folder. A free sample that is. They want you to buy more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 The url points to a bogus url. Please provide a current, proper url to urw's free fonts. Please remove the other download links in the meantime. Fred C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Besides copyright issues (by the way: in legal terms "use" is different from "distribution"): What is the sense of your various Freefont threads in the forum? Everyone can search webwide + find + download from many sites. Usually with more choice than from your personal selection. – Imagine every user would upload her/his font library to the forum? ... or even zips of any locally stored image folders?
