How reputable is 1001fonts.com? I found a font there that I like which is not on fontsquirrel.com. (I also can't find it for sale anyplace, so it's not obviously pirated, either.) Are there any other reputable free font sites worth knowing about?
I'm guessing people here buy fonts or use free licensed fonts like I do. I got some from Envato, but I am looking for a site that will have a lot more alternatives, and is more dedicated to fonts specifically. I also assume people still do actually buy fonts... So what is your favorite place to grab fonts? (payed or free) :)
I tried google and do a you tube search for the best place to buy Fonts, but it keep recommending me how to find Free font for commercial use, free fonts are great and all but incase I've exhausted my options and can't find the one I need from the free fonts. Where is the best place to buy fonts, not only in term of quality and quantity, but also the price.
I am just getting back into graphics after a very very long hiatus. Just curious, where is the safest place to download and get fonts? I don't mind paying for them, but just don't want to go through a bunch of sketchy websites.
Looking to buy some script fonts to use for products in my Etsy shop. I keep gettings fonts from Creative Fabrica or Creative Market that are nice looking at a glance, but when I try to use them, the letters don't connect right without having to manually kern it all, no/few ligatures, or just poor quality with out of place anchor points when you zoom in. Where can I get some good script fonts, preferably with lots of alternates & ligatures? And how do I check to see before buying if the designer has manually adjusted the kerning? And are there any other distinguishers to look out for to see if it's going to be a high quality font versus just something someone created real fast & threw it up online?
If my go-to fonts aren't working for the project, I describe the font I have in mind in the Google search bar and try the top ten suggestions that pop up. (i.e. best long, tall typefaces; top 10 elegant scripts; corporate, business font)
So, I am watching a lot of t-shirt design videos on youtube, and these creators are seemingly just grabbing images, textures and fonts from all over the place and using them for their designs then selling them, and rarely do I see these guys even checking if the fonts and images are actually copyright free to use.
It looks like the solution from the era is still the best practice today, though: build a fontset that contains the desired character range to font mappings, and use that everywhere. Which sounds so simple, but ... now I have three problems. :/
...and finally I have a fontset working. That means that I can configure it, using the standard fontset mechanisms, to render any Unicode code point via any typeface I wish, with the appropriate properties applied to scale, etc, it to the right place.
