Hi Everybody...
This is my first post, so I'm looking forward to seeing how useful this site can be.

I have a pretty specific question.
I'm looking to download the font "Nasty" by misprintedtype free for a MAC. I have a link for it (http://www.misprintedtype.com/v3/fonts/popup.php?tipo=free&font=13) but for some reason the download is coming up as an error. Does anyone know how I can fix this, and/or another place I can find this font as a free MAC download?

Thanks ahead of time for any help or suggestions!

I can download and unpack it without a problem. What browser are you using? I'm using Safari.

I was using firefox - I'll give Safari a try... Thanks for the tip!!

Also downloads easily in FireFox

Strange... I can download it using Safari, but I get an error that says "An error has occurred while expanding the file "Nasty.sit" (Resource not found.)Any idea why that would be happening?

When I downloaded it, it automatically unpacked the ZIP file and did give me an error for the SIT file. All I had to do at that point was double-click on the SIT and the font was there.

Hmm. I wonder why I'm having trouble. I get the error msg right after I double click on the downloaded sit file. I also tried opening Stuffit Expander first and dragging the sit file onto it. I get the same error message.

FYI... looks like it was an Expander issue... thanks for the help ~ff
