Why are fonts so costly ? Just a curious thought… I was wondering to look for good fonts. And I came across some fonts that were as costly as 100$. Can anybody explain or any idea why is so ? And I found a CD of adobe font families (containing 2500+ fonts) and that was priced nearly $6000.00 … woooo that is so costly… though it contained some of the best fonts…
