Of course, one could also perhaps see that there is a benefit that the traditional font foundries and consumers bring to the mix -- not being open source, companies like Agfa Monotype are able to license lots of professional fonts to companies like Microsoft that then put them into a lot of products. It seems that open source fonts are being made for different reasons than earning a living. You might want to charge for yours. Now I am not getting into an "open source" battle here (and will duck out if anyone wants that sort of conversation!) -- its just if the question is "who is gonna pay for it?" then you perhaps need to choose a model that allows people to charge money? ;-) MichKa
