How can you SELL fonts?

They charge about $50 for a god damn font that is barely different from the standard Arial.

And they have about 700 slight variations that they charge $50 for each of them. What a dumb business.

The company I work for just recently purchased licenses for a Korean font that was necessary for the proper translation of our app.

Make a font set then talk about how you didnt put 50 dollars of effort into it.

They have to come up with the font concept, then apply it to each letter, make sure it works/displays/prints correctly, etc. I highly doubt it's that easy to produce a font, so they can certainly justify charging for their work.

Sure it takes effort to make a font, but why spend all the time to do it if you can barely tell the difference between it and another already-established font"?

I can see paying money for korean fonts or some kind of creative font, but the garbage they sell on this site is just horrendously overpriced.
