Can anyone direct me to the 'cheapest' place I can find the font frutiger LT Pro??

Thanks,

Joe

Apart from the obvious shady (and not recommended way!) to get fonts, linotype.com looks like the cheapest to me.

Yeah I have seen their site and am not too impressed with the price tag. Unfortunately I have to use this font for a specific client. I guess I will just have to bite the bullet and purchase it. Call me naive but what is the obvious shady way? This is a particularly difficult font to find...

Nicking it, I'd have thought. There are literally hundreds of torrents out there. That having been said, I wouldn't feel comfortable complaining when I get ripped off by a client if I knew that I'd half-inched a bunch of fonts...

Why aren't you charging your client to buy the font if you don't have it?

[jjpryan]

I've already quoted for the job and they might not like the fact that I'm charging an extra £400 on top of the bill! i don't seem to have any other option though.

...unless your profit easily covers that £400 you're mad! If a font is required and you don't have it then either the client pays for it or something else suitable needs to be used...surely??

[jjpryan]

I'm not going to pay for it out of my own pocket!! I will just bill the client. They just won't be happy with the fact I'm adding the extra and I'm trying to keep them happy. I have to use this specific font as it's for a corporate client they are using who definitely won't except a substitute font.
