    Awesome, thanks for the link! Do you have a favorite place to get (free or for a fee) commercial use fonts?

    This is so cool. Reminds me of the font you sometimes found on fish n' chips along the seafront. xxx

    Thanks for the link- question: this is a .vfb file- can someone advise me how I can install this? I am more familiar with true type fonts. Thanks! Chris

    The font should be an .otf file. You can google how to install an "open type font" or .otf file. Or if you're on a Mac, you can just double click it and I believe you'll be asked if you want to install it. On a PC, I have no idea, but I think dafont.com has instructions for installing fonts on both operating systems.

    I like this post. I recently found this site http://fontcab.com, it's specifically designed for people to download commercial fonts for free. Just wanted to share it with you.
