font needed!

[QUOTE=PaavoPerkele]Wouldn't that be illegal? :rolleyes:[/QUOTE]

depends on a lot of things ...

(nope ...)

.. oh ... :(

xoom-xoom, we don't support piracy of any kind on this forum. You said yourself your business is doing well, so if you are planning on using this font you should really pay for it. Designing a good typeface is one of the most time consuming thing you can do, and it's a shame for you to just download it from somewhere without paying the designer for their hard work.

*edit*
I closed the thread because you found the font you were looking for so your question is answered, and we don't need to start talking about piracy techniques.

This thread is a response to the recently closed thread that was trying to identify a certain font.

Xoom Xoom posted a picture and subsequently answered his own question, the font name was FF Dax. The thread was closed for reasons of supposed piratical talk, I respectfully suggest this was a wrong reason to close the thread. Nowhere In the thread can I find any evidence of anyone suggesting they would or should download the font illegaly. Quite to the contrary in fact.

"...but are you willing to pay for it if it is not free?" I asked. The response was "sure!"

The next response was also from Xoom Xoom, in which he answered his own question. He named the font and then proceeded to tell us the price. Nowhere did he suggest that he would not be willing to pay for it, or that he intended to download or procure it illegaly.

So my point remains. Why close a perfectly valid thread that adheres (as far as I can tell) to forum policy and rules?

Of course I have written this response, not to start a debate on the closing of the thread, but to provide pertinent and relevant information on the whereabouts of the font. IT IS AVAILABLE FOR FREE! a search on google(obviously) provided the relevant info.

It can be downloaded FREE from this URL -

I really feel that on this occasion the thread was closed without much thought or without reading the original posters comments. This new thread is intended only to provide information on where the font can be found and to comment on
the seemingly harsh closing of a legitimate thread.

If there was talk of piracy or illegal activites I would gladly offer you the chance to show me where in the thread it was contained.

I edited all of the posts that mentioned the piracy, hermit, that is why you don't see him mention it. But perhaps you are right, I should have just edited it and not closed it. I will open it and merge these threads.

I apologise - I made yet another new thread when my post was moved, I would appreciate it if you could remove my extraneous thread from the misc section. Also was not aware of you deleting the piracy comments (thought I was going mad when I could not see reference to it).

Once again apologies over posting numerous threads, just that it seemed heavy handed at the time, in light of new info, I now understand.

hi again,

i just mentioned if someone can give it to me or give me a link to download only to test it and see it's results in my design (as trial in programs) and this not available with fonts so i don't want to buy while i'm not sure how would it look in the web site i'm designing (you know how many times we try font on each design) and i'm not doing well enough in this business; enough to enable me to buy a font i don't really know if it will fit or not by $129

this is the case!! hope you guys understand the right way and don't get me wrong...

well i'm against piracy but i'm with trial version to give us better idea about what we're gonna buy by the money!!

thanks all

[QUOTE=thehermit]My link seems not to work but it the similiar url if u do a google search[/QUOTE]

you missed on dash in your link, it should be like this: http://www.free-font-download.com/fonts/dax-regular.php

btw, i reach there before through google search and this site is just manpulating and if you hit the download link you will know that!! they will redirect you to www.fonts.com which is a font shop web site...

dunno! but i really like to test the font before :rolleyes: but if i didn't find a way to test it, i will just go buy it

thanks for your effort ;)

any help?

on how to buy it? If you found the type foundry website buy it from them cheers,
