 Wow, I check back here ten minutes later and it's a completely different site! I like the new design! :-)

In some fonts i've noticed some characters seem to change shape and spacing, depending on the following letter.
Notably with the capital T.
What do you call this and how can this be done in a program like FontCreator?

Does anyone by chance know where to purchase this font for commercial use?
Or does anyone know of another font very close to it that I can purchase somewhere?
I REALLY need help!!

 Hi,
Does anyone what this font is please? It's from the new 'Design for Life' program showing on the BBC at the moment.
Thanks,

It is quite simple. You have your opinion - and the right to that opinion - and I have mine. I understand you consider a deformation of an existing typeface a new design, a new typeface, OK. I don't. To me a design is a new creation. Not something that borrows something, reshapes it with some filters and then claims it to be original.
Understand me well my friend, my point is not so much the reshaping - deforming - distorting someting existing. That is quite usual nowadays. My point is that one should not claim the design ownership and claim it is something new if it could not have been made without using an existing design - in this case the Garamond.
And again, if one does something like that to me it is not OK but, OK. Yet at least give the credits. If Chank just had mumbled something like "based on ..." he would have been fair and honest. Now only those that know about typography see that we have another case of borrowing.
So, respecting your opinion - like Voltaire told us to - I still don't consider this a font design. I still consider it a shamefull deformation of the Garamond.
And, indeed, this happens all the time. Your example like the fraktur after a termite attack is only one of many. May I shout MANY? My opinion about those is the same. Cheap effordless copying with a messy result.
That said, welcome aboard. Members with an outspoken opinion are more than welcome. Otherwise we just end up with "what is this". Nevertheless don't let's get to much preoccupied with this, after all, ... it is just a font ... right? There are things happening in this world we are living in that are much more worth to worry about. Agree?

The kerning depends on the font design so there is no standard set. The way to do it quick and dirty is to find a type that has a similar design as yours - AND proper kerning pairs. Export, and then import the kerning info in your own design. Success not guaranteed. You will still have to adjust.
As usual: RTFRMF!

Hi guys,
I want to design a logo for my business.
Do I need to check with the copyright's owner of any font if I just want to use his/her font to design my logo? I mean, I don't want to distribute, sell, share the font by any mean. I just want to use it to design a logo.
Thanks
Phil

My design is in the running to be printed at ___.com. It is a very short story I hand lettered. I would say it is pretty handsome for an amateur. I need your rating on it to push it through to get printed. Here is the link:

Thanks a bunch of bananas,
Mike
Edit kk:
I understand that you want to promote your design. But, really, this is not the forum to do that. So I had to delete your link. Understand?
