Help! I need freeware font suggestions please...
Wednesday, June 4, 2003 by Sylva | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Ok, I'm working on a skin, and the only font I have that I like with it is Charlesworth, but that's a corel font, which means I can't distriubte it with the skin. Does anyone know of a freeware font that is similar to Charlesworth? If not, does anyone have any suggestions for a font that would look good on this skin http://sylva.koasati.net/Forbiddenfonthelp.jpg ?
Thanks in advance.......

I just found a 'lookalike' font called Charlemagne, but it costs $21 at myfonts.com. Not sure how close to those you are looking to get, but you might want to check out the Riven and Exile fonts at http://members.aol.com/agesofmyst/handwriting.html
I checked and those are free for distribution.
Hope that helps...

Thanks A_67 and Ivlunki. I've gone through everythign on those sites and still can't find anything I like that's close enough. everything is too thick when I try it on the skin. Guess I'm just too picky *s*
ama02, the river ans exile fonts are the same as Garamond, but a few letters have been changed a little bit on each one. But I did find some fonts on there that would be useful for some other projects I'm working on, so thanks for the link *s*.
After doing a little more digging this morning, I've actually found a few sites offerring the charlesworth font for free. so I'm wondering if corel is for some reason offerring it for free distribution, or the people who have it up don;t care about copyright laws...hmmmm. I'll have to check it out.
thanks again guys
