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

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.

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