Font Squirrel

Our reaction when someone says you need to spend money to get a great font.

@mwgerard Hi Meghan, Sorry, but we don't maintain that plugin and we don't have any way to updated it.

@Samir4122000 @aggressa It's coming back slowly now. Sorry!

@FontSquirrel @aggressa Image preview is broken as of today 16-march-2022, please fix it asap!! @FontSquirrel

@FontSquirrel looks like the font preview images on your side are broken.

@TayIorRobinson Hi there, I use Firefox as my main browser and haven't been having any problems. Is it possibly you've got an ad blocker or other extension causing some interference?

@FontSquirrel i don't know what you did but matcherator has been broken in firefox for a while and i am sad

This painting reminds me of something, but I just can't put my finger on it...

@RealFoin It's fixed. Thanks for letting us know!

@FontSquirrel I can't preview any font on your website anymore, is the website dead?

@stephensauceda Yep, that's it. Klim is 100% on the blacklist and can't be generated. I'll look into why the generator didn't throw an error message like it was supposed to. Thanks for pointing us in the right direction!

@stephensauceda Right...some foundries have asked us not to generate web fonts at all, regardless of whether or not you have a web license. Because we have no way of knowing, it's easier just to blacklist the files completely. Can you tell me what the font was you were trying to generate?

I never thought that a font could make me cry. IT DID! @FontSquirrel had a cute, free font called 'Beth Ellen'. When I downloaded it, there was a PDF included, which was a first. Normally, there isn't any note from a font's creator. Click to view @robjelinski 's full note:

@AfterHardship @robjelinski That's really beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

@stephensauceda Hi Stephen....It sounds like you may be running into a problem with our blacklist. It's supposed to show an error, but it's possible there's a bug that's causing it not to show. If that's the case, we wouldn't generate the web font anyway because the foundry has asked us not to.

@photopeacom Fontspring is our main site and the proceeds of sales there allow us to provide Font Squirrel for free.

@photopeacom We've just now enabled Font Squirrel results by default, although because the Font Squirrel library is smaller than Fontspring's, the closest matches will still often be Fontspring fonts.

@FontSquirrel Hey! Why in your Matcherator, the Font Squirrel distributor is disabled by default? The whole Matcherator looks like a tool for selling fonts of your sponsors :/ fontsquirrel.com/matcherator

@bluelaugh Sorry about that. It's back.

@FontSquirrel Your site is broken. Can not see any of the fonts.

@voneff @TuffTiffResists Sorry ya'll. It's back up!

@TuffTiffResists @FontSquirrel Came here to see if other people had the same problem. I really hope they get back on track soon!

@FontSquirrel Why aren't the fonts loading on your page? I can't see what they look like, only their name.

@fake_journals @pexels No worries. Appreciate the credit, it's just clogging up our mentions. Best wishes.

@FontSquirrel @pexels Okay - We'll removed from the database. May take a few days to filter through, so please bear with it. We just want to give credit where it is deserved but understand it can be a little annoying. Anyhow, thank you for the fonts. They are just what we needed.

@Aw336F Hard to say without doing some digging. Have you tried another image or another browser? Could you drop the image here so we can see what you're working on?

@FontSquirrel i have a problem, whenever i insert and image into the font identifier. this happens. What's the cause of this? and i am using a correct image format for the font identifier...
