Good luck with this one! :)

Great find as usual, DPape! Link to the commercial version of GLC 1543 Humane Jenson: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/glc/1543-humane-jenson/

I know nothing!

This notes: "Utilisation non commerciale autorisee" which I assume means non commercial utilization is authorized.

Have My Fonts talk to Dafonts.

There's not enough time. This is a competitive sport and every second counts in order to WIN!

All links stop at Dafont, Designers foundry, MyFonts, etc.

Hrant: maybe you should ask Dafont for a job reviewing their submissions so as to nip it in the bud before the flowering season spreads the pollen for us all to sniff.

Ryuk is the competition! The only time to catch him is when he's sleeping. He's also got the advantage of not having any illegal fonts... and probably has a faster computer, a faster brain, faster fingers and more books than the rest of us. And he's probably got a lot more experience that us. I suspect he's older than us too. Oh, and probably prettier too.

How can you compete!? Doping -- which I bring to the party. 'Scuse me while I go get a booster.

Jenson died in 1480, i.e. 60 years before the book was typeset.

>Steve, it's strange that you only ever find a problem with my stance, and never with that of people who clearly couldn't care less about type itself.

The problem is not with your stance. I pretty much agree with you. Your posts about outline theft, pirated copies, and rip-offs are well taken. Mostly your posts are directed at a few people in IDing contests who are not as passionate as you in the sourcing or origin of the fonts.

You've made your point to them many, many times. Don't you think they understand your point by now? Will saying the same thing to the same people over and over again produce different results?

Also you are shifting the burden to the IDers to make sure they're naming a legitimate copy. Why don't you do a little checking before disparaging fonts and IDers? Why don't you start a list of illegitimate fonts? And more than once innocent posters looking for an ID, some newcomers, got caught in the crossfire.

I'd just like someone with your knowledge and passion to take the rant out of Hrant. Don't give up your principles; just give up being a nag that just incurs the ire of others. And who wants to see a thread about a font ID with more posts about (il)legitmacy (real or imagined) than about the font itself?

I think persistence is not a wasted virtue. People often change their behavior when there's enough pressure, plus third parties get a better idea of what kind of place this is (i.e. not the Mos Eisley of the type world).

Why don't you ever confront anybody else who you think is doing something wrong?

I deleted the reply to stop your public display.

You are sounding a lot like the boy who yelled "wolf"... you make true accusations and false accusations until none of them carry the weight of authority.

If you can't change Dafont then you can't help your cause.

> I'm not on some delusional crusade to eradicate piracy or plagiarism

How come that people claiming to be not delusional start a delusional copyright crusade concerning a font copied 500 years later?
