Kat - I think it is time we change your brand of catnip.
WTF is an excellent stie - you are right it is for the person who wants to buy a font - and that is what they do sell fonts.
Please don't knock it. I know I haven't been spending as much time there as I use to -- many more regulars these days - but it is still excellent - and maybe old pros like are just aren't into the freebie/shareware fonts as much.
Many there, like myself, were professionals working in typeshops -- with manufacturers that had limited type libraries.
Do you realize the average person can now own a type library (for free) larger than the type library of the largest type houses in NYC - in it's hey-day? - re: Font ID please

hi. Know what might be cool is if you show other fonts that a person makes. In the details section there is the copyright etc. ON their name when you click on it, it will show you other fonts that the person makes.
2nd, what's the point of a website feed back. (Not this one but the one where you say click here. In the opening page with unlikely wishes, pending wishes etc.) YOu already have one.
LBNL, THe Blockar[/i:f519a3480c] font dosen't have an average. I think it should be on the top donloads of all times though:D

Buckle-up hungrydave!!
I have been staring at this post for quite a while now and must admit I am flabbergasted.
On this forum and others I have seen many posts phrased as 'new york yankees font', 'harley davidson font' and so on. Everyone with more than 0.2% of the average gray matter knows that there are no such fonts but just fonts used to cerate a new york yankees /harley davidson logo/website/... As there is no 'dumbo font' to describe the corporate housestyle typeface of the White House - or Tony Blair for that matter.
So we decrypt and respond.
But this time it goes beyond ignorance or lack of historical understanding or education. This one is plain stupid. Suddenly, apparently there are 'bhudist', 'catholic', liberal, 'conservative' and 'communist' fonts. Fonts, rather typefaces, stupid, are a reflection of time. Not of an ideology. In the part of the world where latin script - which includes cyrilic (not relevant in this case) - is used fashion and the style of a specific period it time determines the type being used. So the Prague street signs, as well as the Paris and Amsterdam, are reflections of the time that they were designed, The 1920's.
Any idea, historical wonder, when communism came to Check?
Satisfied? OK. - Re: communist/east europe font needed

Gotcha!!
It's the cropograph.
CROPOGRAPH
This font was created in 1998 by Virgiliu Pop, LicIur, LLM, inspired by the crop circles phenomenon. It should not be confused with the "cropbats" font; CROPOGRAPH is a letter and figures font.
CROPOGRAPH is the first font in the VERGILIUS series; others will follow, depending on the success of the CROPOGRAPH.
CROPOGRAPH is a font very suitable to any "alien-looking" webpage, or magazine.
The font is kindware - five (5) US dollars (US$) are kindly asked from any user, but I accept more, depending of how kind you are. Of course, I do not expect you to put me in your will. Please note that for more serious uses (as for example movie titles) contacting the author for bigger rates is required.
I'll list the reasons why I ask for some money:
Well, I am a poor... lawyer. I am from Romania, where the average salary is about 100 $ per month. One cannot live with this sallary; I don't have even half of it per month, even if I obtained my LLM degree abroad (I had a scholarship for this). With 100 $, one can buy in Romania 1000 eggs, or 200 breads (I think). Because of financial reasons, I was unable to accept several PhD admission offers. Needless to say that I do not have a home of mine, and I live with my parents, eating their food.
Then, I begun making fonts... I do hope that this hobby of mine will help me live a little better or buy a computer (I do not have one...).
Please, feel free to distribute the font (I even kindly ask you), but only in the zip form. However, if you want to distribute the font as part of a CD you sell, please ask for my permission.
Money are expected, cash, at:
Virgiliu Pop
LicIur, LLM
Str. Andrei Saguna
Bl.U2, Sc.A, Ap.3
Timisoara 1900
Romania
For any reasons (for example for announcing me that you'll send me some money, or for saying: "whatta kinda font ye made, man", use my e-mail address: CE009@cclub.autocom.ro

Once on sites like fontuniverse, funsite24 and baydragoons. Not here on Abstractfonts (Alex, how come?). But can still be googled: http://www.google.lu/search?hl=de&q=cropograph&btnG=Google-Suche&meta=
