They only took it down on their site.

I think that making a font is less 'fun' for pro designers than making an OS, but that's my opinion. Anyway, I wish you the best of luck. Spread the word, please. The fonts are still out there and they still have a license some of us can live with. Question: if someone has a valid win install, can you copy their fonts from windows side to linux side? If so, can they put them on a font server: xttfs? If so, can clients from all over connect? If not, why not. Or am I misunderstanding things? Fred
