I realise this has been discussed before but i simply wanted to know if anyone knows where to get the "Voluta Script" font...im really on a role with some arty images and drawings and i want the font to complete the authentic feeling of them.

Any and all help is much appreciated in advance :D

Nuptial BT is the closest I've found so far. It's a lot closer than Voluta Script, though it is also a pay for font. Remember downloading fonts for free is the same as downloading software for free. Not that I care I Just don't want to expose myself to prosecution by making it available over an open forum .

Actually, there's quite a few open source sites about that let you download them free AND legally. Takes a bit of digging to find them, but they're usually out there somewhere.

Try looking at the site for Gnu Manipulation Image Program www.gimp.org - not only is it an open source graphic design tool, but there are loads of tutorials for it also. There should be a mention of open source fonts in there somewhere.

I'm curious as to how the existance of open source software and fonts makes it legal to download licensed fonts and software. The existance of OpenOffice doesn't make Microsoft Office free.

As for Fonts there are plenty of sites that let you download licensed fonts for free, but they ain't legal.
