    * Need help from a nice Windows user

    Hello,

    I'm a linux user and I'm stuck to finish a logo as I have only 5 fonts available in linux!
    As I do not have any windows machines available, I would like to know if one of you could zip me his font directory, or at least few nice one.

    Thxs in advance
    Ludo

    it's possible to do that as it's how I get my font under linux last time, but not sure If I get them on linux from a Win HDD or zip from the win HDD to bring them to linux...

    I'm not sure why you said that, because zipping up the fonts folder works like a charm.

    winXP SP2, is what's installed on my windows partition.

    I'd zip mine up for you, but there's a few fonts in there that I purchased, and therefore cannot redistribute.

    I have same issue as IHSL, many of my fonts came in purchased font packs. Not to mention that I dont think that I have a server big enough, or enough time to upload a file as huge as a zip of my font folder would be.

    lubox.com you can actually download and install a few of the windows fonts see back in the day they made a blunder and released them with a license to be redistributed freely... thats why when you do a SuSE install for example those fonts are not bundled with it, (not legal) but you download them after the install is down.

    Where can you download them? Do you know any site?

    And thxs to all the others, I understand when you have font that you purchased it's normal I would do the same.

    http://www.microsoft.com/typography/...ck/default.htm << Microsoft's TrueType core fonts for the Web are no longer available for download from www.microsoft.com.

    ah, not from their site no.
    but I'm sure there are mirrors around, google it.


    EDIT: "Microsoft's TrueType core fonts on linux"

    your welcome,
