Try doing it yourself. the parts alone cost you about $7. Then there is the labour to manfacture, package, stock and ship them. And the fonts didnt grow on trees, they had to get them from somewhere. Either they had to get somebody to do them by hand or maybe they converted a rasterised font from inside a laserwriter, either way somebody got paid for doing someting. And you have to pay yourself something, this aint font welfare, neither is it a non profit organization. Even the outline fonts at $95 - $400 are still a bargin considering what you can do with them and how good they look when you do it. -- Bad sunburn.
