<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I like it. I think we have a lot to gain by CRAZY PIERRE'S BARGAIN BASEMENT FREE FONT MADNESS kinda parody, pulling in traffic in search of freeware fonts and converting them to yearn for libre fonts instead :)</p>
<p>Photos of your handlebar moustaches and national flag trousers welcome :D</p>
<p>More seriously, let's draft the texts on the wiki? :)</p>
<p>Regards, Dave</p>

A single flat *marketing* idea for the launch of the renewed OFLB, maybe...<br>
A campaign of messages like :<br>
<br>
Win a<br>
free<br>
revolutionary<br>
font!!!<br>
Go quick on ...<br>
<br>
A free new font<br>
to download<br>
today!<br>
<br>
A full<br>
sci-fi font<br>
free for<br>
you!<br>
<br>
Get your<br>
own version<br>
of that font!<br>
Free!<br>
<br>
Kind of stuff you see sometimes issued by foundries looking for visits... but in our case, you fall on another message on the site explaining how, apart being free, that font is<br>
@font-face usable,<br>
modifiable,<br>
full featured,<br>
complete with a full set of scripts,<br>
collective,<br>
opensource,<br>
libre,<br>
etc.<br>
<br>
We can select a few interesting typefaces, and produce small images, "poster"-like, to be post on the more type and graphic design forums and blogs as possible?<br>
<br>
Just a monday idea...<br><font color="#888888">
