Baskerville for free.
Tuesday, September 6, 2005 @ 10:14 pm Just screwed up on a typography project and managed to fix it without leaving the house and going back to the freezing lab I just came from. Forgot to do these two certain formations with the Baskerville font and couldn’t use the fonts he’d given me in class ’cause I have a PC and couldn’t use the outlines I’d created earlier ’cause I don’t have Illustrator. So, I searched for and downloaded a free version of Baskerville, decided it looked close enough to the real version, made a couple quick formations in the converted PSD file in Photoshop, and now have something I hope meets his approval at 8 am tomorrow. Speaking of 8 am, I need to go to bed like now ’cause I haven’t gotten a decent night’s sleep in awhile …
Oh yeah, and I hate the bookstore and the office of the registrar. No one knows how to refund lab vouchers and it’s annoying ![]()

Belinda, the font’s name is Baskerville-Normal, and can be downloaded here (towards the bottom). I’m sure there are other places as well, but that was the first decent one I found

You didn’t mention the name of the font or where you found it. I’m looking for the same thing - a lookalike Baskerville.
Thanks,
Belinda
