I purchased a font set through one of the various Creatives marketplaces. You know, like, whats-its, Mighty Deal. They regularly have all sorts of goodies on sale. Backgrounds, fonts, filters, the usual for creative folk. I don't buy the typical, but I'll snatch up a font, if it's a good price and I can see a possible use (like...fleurons and dingbats and that usual type of thing).
I purchased a big old expensive font for a whopping $11. That was for the desktop and the web fonts license. I did this because it's a pretty script font, and I could easily see using it in a design or two, for a book or a cover. What I REALLY wanted, though, were the 964 glyphs that came with. Sure, many--say, 70%--would be unusable unless they were used with THIS font, but the rest could be deployed as all kind of things.
But, lo........surprisingly, there's NO glyph-map with this font. UHR? Sure, I can pop it up in Windows in the Char Map, or in my Glyph view in Font Suitcase...but, sheesh. NINE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOUR glyphs, and the designer didn't make a glyph map? Or a user's guide? (Lots of fonts that are glyph-heavy are now coming with user's guides showing the location of the glyphs, some even have design ideas.)
NOT happy. I can just see me dreaming of a time in my life when I'll have the type of time available to sit around and scroll through nearly a thousand glyphs!!

I shall get right on making that time extender machine.
I wouldn't be happy either. $11 seems like a lot for a pretty much useless product.
