A Univers of Savings?
12:45 PMThat nonprofit project that's driving me crazy continues to do so. Late in the game, they finally bothered to give me the style guide they are insistent I follow but didn't bother to mention at the beginning. Never mind that my project is for video and the style guide specifically discusses only cheap-ass printed materials (for example; one variant of the required font is forbidden because "it prints incorrectly on the [organization name] laser printers"). Also never mind that the style guide contradicts itself and the logos they gave me at the start. But on top of all that, I'm required to use fonts I don't have, and will probably have to buy.
Trying to find said fonts on the Web for free or ultra-cheap led me to this, one of the worst discounts ever:
Wow! Four whole dollars! It would usually be $560 bucks, but now it's just 556! I'm buyin' coffee tonight!

Oh man. If this wasn't a personal favor for a friend, I would be all "ABORT ABORT ABORT" on this one if I were you.
If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a client with their heads so far up their asses they think everyone else smells like shit.

LOL! While I wish your story was anomalous... I fear your experience is all too common among freelance designers and guys just trying to finish up 'buddy-projects'. Generally a lack of understanding of the process and workflow of creative projects. Anyway, hope this will help you some... my super-secret link to a 28MB ZIP file full of fonts I've collected doing various BS projects like the one you describe. :) Cheers Tim!
