Although I would be more than happy to pay for the font.

Cant you just print that Gif out and use a photocopier to blow up the text
to the size required and string the words together? Of course, I wouldnt
recommand it if you are decide to write a who paragraph full of text :)

If you do enlarge the font. Be prepare to turn up the contrast setting on
the copier and also best if you use a knife to cut each character out when
it becomes large enough to work with. Then paint the edge (Cos' I can
imagine when you enlarge the size of the font on the copier, it will give
you a fuzzy edge). Once the edge is repainted and sharp. Place back into the
photocopier and photocopy away.

Just like the good old days of typography before the computer came along :)

All the time and cost involve photocopying... 20.50USD doesnt feel so much
anymore :) At least I can have it on a computer and size it to any size with
a few mouse clicks and preview what I want it to do easily. It will work out
cheaper in the long run.

Of course, if you are going to use it only once... then its a different
story.

Cheers,
