Buying a font

rogvalcox · Dec 17, 2007

Hello all...long time not see!!

I'm in a bit of a pinch here...My new job consist of running a sign shop and I am in the quest for a font (Agfa Wile Roman Medium) and of course there is no place that has this one for free...that I could find anyway, unless one of you geniuses happen to know where I could get it for free!! So therefore I am limited to buying it...which leads me to the question...Where would you recommend reputable sites to buy fonts from and should I get PS or TT. It will be used in software engineered for a vinyl cutting machine.

Thanks a bunch...and hopefully I can get back here too hang out soon and see some of you MG Vets along with some new members that appear to be coming in good force!!

Thanks & Later
Roger

If buying then http://www.fonts.com/ is Agfa's Monotype shop, as for type of font Type1/PS or OT ( OpenType ) are best for design as they dont tend to pixelate at high sizes as TT fonts tend to do. *personally i convert all my TT fonts to PS or OT )

OT has an advantage over PS in that its font base can hold many for glyphs ( differening language fonts and characters ) than that of PS.

or http://www.linotype.com/5/fontfinder.html?PHPSESSID=6cde807f3d1c17531e1d87de0536fa69

Did check my font library but dont have many of the Afga ones sadly.

I also checked my library of fonts and I do not have this font either.

I do have two sites that I use when I need a certain font, they have tons of free fonts that may be useful.
