Scriptorium/FontCraft have been around for quite a while, in fact I think they were one of the first independents to post a Web site. Dave Nalle was semi-regular on Typo-L but I can't say I've seen him active elsewhere online or at type conferences so it's difficult to form an opinion. His fonts certainly have a following - Tim Burton, and The Pirates of the Caribbean spring to mind. I would assume he's been reasonably successful to have stuck with it for so long, especially when other vendors have given up.

Dan, I'll write a message to you. By the way, you can reach me at viejo_amargadoINhotmail.com. I am certainly eager to hear some bit about the best options for dealing one's fonts with.

And yes, Scriptorium has been on a long time now. They have specialized in antique fonts, some of them quite interesting. Since one of my almost-completed fonts is a conversion from a XVII-Century printed book, I found Scriptorium an option for wanting to distribute it. But I wanted to know an opinion on the foundry's seriousness.

I'll also search for IHOF, Paul.
