My client wants me to use a specific font that I don't have - he wont pay for it as it's available free. The font is Effloresce

I'm worried about downloading any free stuff - can anyone recommend a safe site I could get it from? I'll be looking at a Postscript Type one version I think (Mac OSX)

many thanks

Caroline

    Correct answer

    Effloresce is a free font by a well-known developer, Ray Larabie.

    There is nothing wrong, either legally or technically, with

    downloading and using it.

    It can be freely obtained at Myfonts.com, as well as at almost any of

    the free font sites such as Dafont, 1001freefonts, and a hundred others.

    You can get it here: http://www.dafont.com/effloresce.font, it's free for commercial use. I think it will be a truetype font (not sure why you would need a type 1 font, they are pretty much dead these days, opentype replacing them.

    Edit: Herb beat me to it!
