Does anyone know SDfonts?
Hello everybody,
I'm trying hard to contact one of the font creators of this community, SDfonts,
https://www.dafont.com/sdfonts.d124
His official website
https://jump.to/SDFonts it now redirects to the Jump homepage. His alternative website
https://www.angelfire.com/scifi2/sdfonts/ it looks long time abandoned.
I tried to email him at
kaukomieli@angelfire.com and at
rzy@netjunk.com, but the message was rejected by the server because no longer existing addresses.
What we know is his name, Sami, his location, Espoo/Finland and many pages about his fonts on the Internet, all without a working link to contact him.
Anyone knows how to contact him?
Thanks a lot in advance

Given that their most recent font appeared on Dafont just over 17 years ago (in October 2005), and that all your efforts thus far have come to nought, I think it's extremely likely they have left the font-creating scene, and you will be left stuck as you are now.
Good point, thank you.
Maybe than I can take the chance and ask in this forum what I wanted to ask to the font designer I was looking for: I need a hebrew version of the font Scrypticali, at least 5 letters. Is there anybody can do it? Or maybe does anyone know if the font Scrypticali is based on some else which alteady support the hebrew language?
Thanks all
Claudio
No worries.
My answers to your questions:
"Is there anybody can do it?" - yes, there are many people who can do it, but what are the terms & conditions (free/paid/timeframe/KPI)? You could potentially do it yourself, especially if you only want 5 glyphs - there are good programmes (free & paid) available that could greatly assist (see the Tools/Software page here at Dafont for a start
https://www.dafont.com/soft.php ).
"does anyone know if the font Scrypticali is based on some else" - I don't know, but it looks like original work to me; probably the only person who knows for sure is Sami/SDFonts, and they aren't available.
Hello and thanks for your answers. I'm a designer, but not skilled on typefaces design. Plus, I don't know hebrew language. I need this job done for one of my clients. I give it a try designing those few glyphs, but I've found out that creating letters with a good readability and coherent with style is a very tough job and require deep knowledge of how each language is wrtitten/read.
If anyone wish to send me his quote for this job done to familydog at tiscali dot it, I would be very glad, thank you.

@familydog
It's unlikely that anyone will make a custom font for you at any price. For one thing, very few type designers read the General Discussion forum on dafont.
I suggest you look for an existing font similar to what you want. Your best place to look would be the Hebrew Simulation fonts on Luc Devroye's site:
http://luc.devroye.org/h-sim.html
Don't expect all of the links to be working, but you might find a free one that you'd never locate through Google.

Thank you for your kind reply! I took a look at the website you linked, but - if I understand correct - the purpose there is to find latin alphabet fonts that look similar to eastern wording (hebrew, arabic, etc.), while what I need is to find real hebrew glyphs/letters in the same (or very similar) style as the Scrypticali font.
It would be wonderful if there was a website where to find real hebrew supported language fonts that looks like the most famous latin fonts (or shortly, just like Scrypticali font)!
