Re: Who wants 1,933 free .fdb fonts?

hi all,

just wondering if anything happened with these fdb files.
did they find a nice home somewhere online?

unfortunately I can't offer any bandwidth for hosting, but was curious 
as to the outcome.

did you manage to get them uploaded somewhere?


regards,
glenn
