This is no way to become famous
Two of my recent fonts have suddenly appeared on AbstractFonts and they're being downloaded like hot cakes, (whatever they are). Trouble is, I didn't put them there. And there's no mention of my name in connection with the download. No credit at all. I've contacted one of the admins and I hope he can rectify the situation. I've nothing against my fonts being available and widely downloaded - or even used! - that's why I've made them. But a bit of credit would be nice. Spike and Sfilth are mine...

i say we light some torches and go visit his house... glad to hear it was sorted. What are people thinking when they do this? They really piss me off. If your colours are starting to run, let them all run, run away from you. Flux - Bloc Party

Alex said that someone else had submitted them. I guess whoever it was nabbed them off Dafont, where I uploaded them myself in December. It's partly my fault - if I filled out the font's copyright metatext properly in the font editor program, my fonts would be easier to credit. I think it's odd that fonts are accepted anonymously though - I can imagine BIG trouble with an obscure font from a big foundry. My free fonts www.utfi.net
