Ah, these are nice fonts. Now I recognize that I've waited for those all the years. Very nice!
Quite a good surprise for me : excellent and beautiful fonts... with accents !!!
That's so rare to find original and good fonts not designed only for english.
So, thanks a lot RobA!
Can someone with more experience write up a thread about licensing fonts for commercial use? I've been talking to Nate Piekos at Blambot about licensing some fonts and he's been great. For some of us it may not be immediately apparent when and how licensing a font works. Font designers need our cash!
There actually was a recent discussion on that very topic: http://www.cartographersguild.com/ge...ting-sued.html

A couple of great fonts here for replicating old maps.

Thanks, Ravells. That foundry, GLC, does a ton of great old fonts. I have to tear myself away before I go on a mad spending spree!

Yep, I've purchased a number of GLC fonts. They have a great selection of historic fonts.
MyFonts has deals fairly often where fonts go on sale for up to 70% off sometimes.
That's why I check there often.
But sometimes I do spend a bit much.

Indeed I've purchased a couple of fonts from there and they have some jewels.
That Caeldera font is beautiful.
