Well, these two discussions are quite different.  The situation with SD was
one of abiding by TOSs. Namely, screenscraping wasn't allowed, the only
viable way to get listing data was SD.  I was _more_ than happy to pay for
the service. If there were a free service that offered listing data but
wasn't as full-featured, I'd consider it.

Fonts.. not so much.  There are font options out there.. many of them. Any
given one may be "good enough" for most users (in their own opinions).

I'm not really concerned with Free-as-in-speech or Free-as-in-beer. More
Free-as-in-choice. =)
