Re: What happened to all the freeware "dincType" fonts?

Joseph wrote:

Does anyone know what the current story is with freeware dincType
fonts? I only can find about <100 of the fonts listed below.
Apparently they were sold to snapfonts and went commercial, but I
believe snapfonts is now out of business -- so does that mean they are
back to freeware?

Any specific ones in mind? The only commercial ones I'm sure of are her Retrobats.

She has occasionally issued new and different fonts with the same names as older ones. Very confusing.

Every so often someone resurrects a list (I know of almost 600 different) and the fonts get posted to a binary fonts usenet newsgroup such as alt.binaries.fonts (binary groups aren't accessible via google groups, which is how you got here). Some Yahoo or Google private font or scrapbooking groups probably also post the non-commercial ones.

Of course, you could always write to Dianne and ask!

Most of the recent ones are available to download here (http://
www.girlswhowearglasses.com) , but it's as if all the older ones have
vanished.
