P.S. I've decided not all the fonts on offer are done with the app.
A case of marketing strategy perhaps?

The reasons for so many new fonts (some of them)

1. Economic recession and the need to try and make a living.
2. Font theft, with fonts being shared the income dwindles as more and more can just google for a free copy.
3. Demand for more features, international characters, contextual/discretionary alternates/ligatures etc (i.e. "Pro" versions).
4. Good old sales pitch, creation of demand, everyone must have the latest etc.
5. Inter-foundry rivalry. Consider the number of Sans or Slab-Serifs that look virtually the same.

Some of the sales pitch goes to ridiculous lengths e.g. number of kerning pairs. (For example Dulcinea by Re-type has 107,681 kerning pairs - unbelievable!).

All these are typical of a capitalist market. At least we have loads of choice!

I found a passable alternative to HiHat.



Oh for the days of the old Myfonts with the categories menu. I'm sure I'd have saved time and stress!

Please don't request commercial fonts. I've sent you a PM explaining.

Yes audio! Some fonts have "the look" for the era and context. Others don't.
These do:

Yes I guess you are right, audio.
The problem with Hihat is it says "Basic Font" which suggests limited characters and if so, "bargain font" at $19 does not seem such good value!

Found this freeware (alphabet only, no caps).

Thinking of buying Hi-hat.

"Nothing" is a font by Flat-it Foundry.
Seriously tho' cwat05991, we need a picture to recognise your font if we can.

Bravo! Free does not always equal inferior! Has everyone explored Google Web Fonts?
Take a look at this website:

Why does ANYBODY like rounded sans? Dull as dishwater! (+ side - this one is good for legibility).

Had fun trying to ID this. Found some nice ball serifs I didn't know about, especially the Encorpada Pro Italics.

Hi Hannah, good to see you around on F101 again. Unfortunately no-one will share with you via the forum, because of the rules now in force regarding font theft.

http://fonts101.com/c/forum/topic/10084/Help__Support/YOU_MUST_READ_THESE_RULES_BEFORE_POSTING

A PM will without doubt be on its way to you clarifying all this.

I was trying to get more people posting! The title was in Thai, but I assume the forum site does not support that.
