Not sure if this breaks the rules- I need six words typed out in a font I don't have.

There is a proof I need to make that literally has six words in a font I don't have.. and the font is $160...
Would it be a violation of copy right rules to ask someone here, who has the font, to type it out and convert to outline?

No rules against that nor anything unethical about it.
Which font?

Poynter Oldstyle - Bold OR SIMIBOLD.
The words are;
COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE HEALTH SCIENCES

You should send Boudica some lunch... that's cheaper than $160

Sorry Andy, I got derailed by future client / new owner of a trucking company I used to do a lot of work for. Wants to go back to the original branding I created years ago.

Another fun way around this that I found is to type something up in InDesign, package it up and send it out via ZIP file, since packaging will create a fonts folder with the .otf or .ttf where you can just install. But this is also a little sceezy.

Last time I needed a font I typed the text I needed into a font previewer took a screen shot of it then traced it. It worked

That sounds like sexual harassment

Once the text is converted to outlines it is no longer a copyright issue. That is how it was explained to me years ago by the legal dept. of the international sign franchise I used to work for.
