[OpenFontLibrary] A *marketing* campaign for the launch of the renewed OFLB?

[Dave Crossland]

Hi,

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 :)

Photos of your handlebar moustaches and national flag trousers welcome :D

More seriously, let's draft the texts on the wiki? :)

Regards, Dave

Hello list,

A single flat *marketing* idea for the launch of the renewed OFLB, maybe...
A campaign of messages like :

  Win a
  free
  revolutionary
  font!!!
  Go quick on ...

  A free new font
  to download
  today!

  A full
  sci-fi font
  free for
  you!

  Get your
  own version
  of that font!
  Free!

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
  @font-face usable,
  modifiable,
  full featured,
  complete with a full set of scripts,
  collective,
  opensource,
  libre,
  etc.

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?

Just a monday idea...
