I’m sorry, I didn’t relize DaFont was an illegal site. Please forgive me. Thank you for your help. Again, I deeply applogize. I’ve been given that site as a reference on here before and was just trying to use it as a reference because it offered a preview.

Hi Joshua, we understand you linked to DaFont without knowing it was an illegal rip-off, so no harm done. Just be careful next time. ;^)

DaFont is not really an illegal site, they just happen to ignorantly host some knockoffs. The operator is actually quite responsible about removing illegitimate fonts when informed.

Just to make sure there’s no misunderstanding — the “illegal rip-off” I was referring to was the font, not the website. Otherwise we wouldn’t link to DaFont at all. I recently IDed a freeware font available from DaFont which is the genuine article.
