I know, it's bad form to ask for fonts without paying the artist or foundry that created them but the client says this is on the MS Office CD and its not on my old '97 version.
So does that count? Does MS really care if I get a font off their CD owned by someone else because I got off the upgrade wagon back in '97?
Or do they secretly want to dominate the font world too with me as their unwitting assistant?
Is there a way to identify public domain fonts from "starving artist" fonts before you get them and is it worth the trouble or is it the artists problem to get compensated?
Anyway, if anyone can email me that font, I won't tell.
Thanks!

I would go to the MS site and ask them! They are bigger then you and if you get the font you need from their download site.. You are off the hook as they have given it as Freewares or Sharewares... If the Font is of a nature of copyright and pay to use, then ask your customer to get all rights to use... Any Logo Design to be National or North America Copyright. IE. McDonalds or KFC or ParaPaint,WallMart,Canadian Tire,Air Canada,Etc..|
You cannot design anything that is close in colours and image design to the same business as the competetions of that industry! Freeware Fonts are just generic fonts on the market. But beware of trialware and copyright ones as the owner has all rights to them until pruchased by you!
