Rail Model Font: New Release

WTF???

I was intrigued (still am, actually) until you started with all that Sanskrit or whatever. And I'm afraid to click on that link.

I'm all for new rail model fonts, however. One of my biggest pet peeves with otherwise skilled model builders is their tin ear when it comes to fonts on signs, walls, etc. Too many times one sees a wonderful model of an old brick building or such, with signs obviously made by Microsoft Word with the default fonts (Arial, etc.). Ruins the whole effect.

Norton thinks the home page is ok. Didn't go deeper. Not interested.

Yes, the link is safe but useless. It's a link to a .TTF (True Type font) file. Ugly, seemingly having nothing whatever to do with railroading, model or otherwise, and humongous (about half a megabyte, where most of the fonts on my system are about a max of 100K).
