It is Apercu Std Bold ... we are doing a corp van that requires this font ... realy need some help on this one... Thanks All!!!
That's someone's personal project they posted online, probably not realizing that they're illegally distributing a font. Posting links to pirated fonts is not allowed on Signs101.
It seems not. I did report it at the time, using the report button.Hmmmmmmm......................... Wonder how this will pan out ?? Will they delete their own illegal post ??
https://signs101.com/help/termsSigns101 Rules said:You agree to not use the Service to submit or link to any Content which is defamatory, abusive, hateful, threatening, spam or spam-like, likely to offend, contains adult or objectionable content, contains personal information of others, risks copyright infringement, encourages unlawful activity, or otherwise violates any laws.
In short, Signs 101 is not to be used for soliciting the transfer of digital files. You can ask where to obtain needed artwork or ask how to go about creating it, but you cannot ask someone to give it to you at this forum.
It is the policy of Signs 101 to encourage pointing members to where they can obtain what they seek but, at the same time to remove any post which solicits any other member(s) to transfer any artwork, logo or other graphic product.
We would cordially ask that you leave the moderating to the actual Signs101 Staff OR even request to join the team if you think you can add a higher standard of professionalism as concerns moderating the forum.
Fred Weiss wrote that policy back in 2005. And I'm not sure why you feel the need to point blame jsmoritz2000In other words, "It is the policy of Signs 101 to encourage pointing members to where they can obtain what they seek, but you agree to not use the Service to submit or link to any Content which risks copyright infringement."
It's your bad and there's no other way to twist it.
shoresigns ... GitHub is not a piracy site.
I merely googled the font name and provided the 2nd link that appeared in Google: GitHub
The forum policy reads as follows:
It's a bit ambiguous right? On one hand you have"you can ask where to obtain" whatever it is that you need - but "you cannot ask someone to give it to you..."
I merely [google=Googled Apercu Std Bold]Apercu Std Bold[/google]
As mentioned in the other thread - Even Fred recently posted a link to dafontfree.net - one of the sites you defined as "piracy" and "illegal"
Signs101 Staff are not in the business of policing other websites' practices. So shoresigns - I'm not exactly sure which Signs101 policy was violated here.
I'll bring this thread to Signs101Admin's attention to see what he thinks. I'll also reiterate:
Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion SignosaurusRex - but I have been instructed to carry out the initiative of the new Signs101 owner. I do not need to consult with anyone but him. No offense meant... Anyone else feeling the need to contact with betterment suggestions can do so via PM/Conversation.It might be most advantageous to request a clarification from Fred Weiss concerning this matter.
They, and I, do not enjoy seeing the perpetuation of piracy with links posted by the well-meaning and uneducated few or those that just don't give a crap.
I understand the growing pains that Signs101 is going through but, Signs101 needs to draw a clear and defined line here.
FWIW ... I've suggested that a *truly* cohesive, unambiguous, updated and specific set of policies be created.
