Dozens (there really aren't that much more) of type designers are crying right now :)<p>Fonts are hard work, can be beautiful and deserve to be protected. It's just a shame that fonts are always priced with professionals in mind. I would very much love to be able to just go font shopping as a mere consumer. I cannot pay $100 (or more) for one font weight, though. Some sort of iTunes store for fonts where you pay $10 (or so) for a basic package (normal, italic, bold, bold italic) would be great. You could limit that to non-professional use. I guess there only aren't enough people like me out there to make that feasible.
