Steven,
can you post the link to the ZIP file with the wrong fonts that you
found. I guess we should remove them.

Did you find a best fit free font that we could publish for people who
intend to use the same font as the logo and tag line?

Marketing,
are we functional in a way that we can get things like this done?

Cheers,
Arnulf
