To legitimately obtain the font family Frutiger, you can download Microsoft Reader from the Microsoft website. What is Microsoft Reader? Who cares. Frutiger is a beautifully simple sans-serif font designed by Swiss type designer Adrian Frutiger. It was commissioned in 1968 for the directional sign system in the newly-built Charles De Gaulle International Airport in France.

Free Frutiger without Piracy
If you're like me, you feel guilty downloading pirated fonts. Font designers are artists, too, and they deserve compensation for their work. To turn around and use their work, without license, in your own commercial work is just wrong. However, fonts by major type foundries are expensive. Is there some way to legally acquire fonts for free? I've been on the lookout for such opportunities, and learned that sometimes fonts come bundled in with software--software that you can download, legally, for free.
