Not at all. I just wanted to point out that it looks like one of the best typefaces of all time except without it's best features. Did not mean to come across as arrogant. I understand it will be useful to some people who don't care or who are unable to pay $30 for Frutiger.
- cjensen 13y agoI'd pay $30 in a heartbeat if I could ship Frutiger with my applications. The Intel font can be used for that. Web guys have it easy when it comes to fonts.
- ambiguator 13y agoAhh yes, you'd owe Linotype a few hundred bucks if you want to do that. I'd love to see Adrian Frutiger release an open source font before he goes... Imagine if Univers was free!
- cjensen 13y agoI'd be okay with a few hundred too. The issue for me is that for web use prices are easily available. For programatic use, it suddenly becomes a conversation about licensing with a salesman, and I don't have time for a long conversation.
- owenversteeg 13y agoMost of the time, that is. Some fonts have a specific clause that they are not allowed to be used on the web, including a surprisingly large portion of otherwise free fonts. The best example of this is the fonts at http://losttype.com/ http://losttype.com/.
