Received my very first “Cease & Desist”<\/strong> order today.<\/p>\n

Monotype Typography<\/strong> is threatening Your CyberPal with legal action if I don’t remove a list of their fonts from my font site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Well hey, I’m not looking for trouble or anything…as you read this…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

  • Impact<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Have all been removed from my site today.<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

An honest mistake on my part. These were on floppy disk when I copied my entire C:\\WINDOWS\\fonts<\/a> folder. I had assumed that they were part of the fonts that came with Windows ’95<\/strong>. They may possibly be from my pre-installed Lotus Smart Suite<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Oh well live and learn. I faced legal action if these fonts were not removed by March 4th. A letter of apology is on it’s way to Monotype<\/strong> (who even enclosed copies of their registration certificates.)<\/p>\n

I offer this warning to those who offer these fonts on their font site….<\/p>\n

I have seen ZDNET<\/strong> offer “Impact” a number of times, which leaves me more clueless than usual…<\/p>\n

I guess they’re just gonna mess with the little guys, huh?<\/p>\n

\n

However, speaking of fonts…I released my first original font today <\/strong>EG1 Hover<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
