Going through some of my CD's I found a 'CD-R' a mate had given me, I looked on it and found Adobe Font Folio 9.0. It has about 2,700 fonts or something. I dont usually pirate but I needed some fonts and when I took a look on the internet for how much the Font Folio cost, I was stunned. $10,000 US dollars, thats just over TWENTY THOUSAND NZ DOLLARS. Thats insane! Think of what you could buy instead of that? Am I right in thinking font packages are probably the most expensive software you can buy? I thought music editing programs like CoolEdit and those $1,000 ones were the most expensive, but boy am I mistaken... $20,000...	Guest (0)

Lots of fonts are free, do a search on google for 'free fonts' there are heaps for download. JM	Guest (0)
