Yeah, Eric, you instigated

Yeah, Eric, you instigated that thing and got away fast!!!

I’ll try to come up with some magic again. Hmmmm.... I just did a poster..... Hmmmm... about the world’s neglect of the African continent. Hmmmm.... it’s got type, who knows what font I used? Maybe I’ll put it up! Let’s aim for 500 again!

hey. I’m proud of that

hey. I’m proud of that thread. I’M the instigator extraordinaire.

515! Man, that was like Babe

515! Man, that was like Babe Ruth and Hank Araon! Edel, you are still the champ! The only thing that would get that many posts going again would be if Monica Luinski slept with George Bush and Prince Charles at the same time and then got ratted out by OJ and Michael Jackson during the Superbowl halftime! The whole thing would have been started by some guy trying to ID the typeface used to headline the story in the National Enquirer. :-)

Hrant,
Que pasa? Mira para eso, Hrant habla Spanish tambien. Hrant, everytime the Empire does something I think of you man. It’s like every day now! Hope all is well with your family.

Hey, have you guys ever hit 515 posts on anything again? I’m now hanging out at other places full of artists that don’t know anything about type. Makes me feel extremely superior!

Edel? Look at his icon.

hrant — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 20:16:42 -0800

Edel? Look at his icon. Yeah, he’s a pussycat. Mi perro que tiene doce años (hace 80 en años humanos) es mas loco que el. Remember his reaction when I offered him a police-taunting ride through the streets of LA, gratis? Daaaaaaaaang.

That comes back to my joke about custom work. Unlike type designers who primarily license their stuff at “retail”, you rarely hear piracy concerns from those who mostly do custom work.

In fact if you look at DBerlow’s arguments around unprotected font embedding for Web pages it’s almost as if corporations and major publishers using unlicensed fonts are seen as a revenue opportunity rather than a problem.

Thanks for the compliments.

Thanks for the compliments. I’ll try to use stolen fonts as least as possible but sometimes the work just has be done.

There are some obvious or even notable exceptions like some newspapers comisioning custom typefaces, in México I recall Grupo Reforma (Sinergia by FB some time ago, and now a special weight of Mercury ofr headlines), in Argentina El Clarin and so on.

That analogy is close but

That analogy is close but one difference. In Nevada, those “ladies” get paid to get screwed but type designers get screwed by NOT being paid ;^P

Oh I get it, they’re Canadian! I’ve got a great one then:

>”NOBODY buys illustrations South of the Border.”

That’s why Anita Kunz and Doug Fraser do so much work-for-hire custom work.

Oh, God, LOL!!!! Oh, lord. HA!!!!!!!

Hey friends, sorry about all the screwing around here. I was just SO amused by someone coming HERE and asking about free fonts. It’s like showing up in a Nevada brothel and asking for free— Hmmm.... well, sorry, bad analogy again.

Nick Shinn and John Hudson

paul d hunt — Mon, 9 Oct 2006 15:44:55 -0700

Nick Shinn and John Hudson are both in Canada, thus that makes the EEUU “south of the border” to them.

Hector, don’t let this Chris guy destroy your well earned badass Lucha Libre reputation. You are a delinquent font stealer. Loud and Proud.

>”LOL!!! Hysterical!”

I soooooo don’t get all these damn type jokes. I’m sure it’s hilarious.

PS: Nick and John don’t buy any fonts from Greenland either :-)
