Fonts That Are Known By Different Names

[Gare]

Scriptana is quite nice, I'd agree.

I'm not sure, but I think "Switzerland" is identical to Helvetica.

See, you can copyright a font name, but not the design itself (or at least, it's hard to prove).

The FontShop vends some nice typefaces, but some of them are reworks of existing typefaces whose names are trademarked and such. "Addled", for example, is "Ad Lib", whose name is copyright Bitstream and a few others.

I actually telephoned SWFTE when they were in business and asked them for the "real names" of fonts they distributed.

I tell you what, "name that font" might make an interesting thread here, or just coming up with the commonly-known names for "mystery fonts" (ie. "Bengal" is actually "Benguiat", and "Surf Style" is actually "Van Dijk".
