Maybe someone can explain why AscenderFonts is selling this Microsoft ClearType Font Collection for $299. Because, you see, anyone that buys a copy of Microsoft Office Home Edition 2008 is going to get them as part of the bundle… for $149. (Granted, Ascender’s package provides a five user license and Office Home only gives you three… but does that make it OK?)
