comment Bill a client for a design error?
Maybe you could add more detail about what happened. I'm finding it hard to understand what the client sent you and what they asked for, and whose fault the mistake is.

comment Create a Triangle with Rounded Corners
I usually switch to Inkscape to do stuff like this. You could also use Illustrator/CorelDraw/your preferred vector graphics editor. Not that using Photoshop is wrong or foolhardy, I just prefer a dedicated vector graphics editors for these things.

comment I am trying to identify this font used in RSK Group's logo
The "K" really looks like the K from Arial Black - have they combined the typefaces?

Tell you what though, the K really looks like Arial Black's! Is it possible they've used Franklin Gothic for the RS and Arial Black for the K??? Is that even a good idea??

It does indeed look like ITC Franklin Gothic Std Heavy but with the top of the "K" modified.

It's not Arial's capital R, unless they've done a custom modification to it...

comment Switching to GIMP from CS5.5. Is it feasible?
Plugins in GIMP are a whole lotta effort to get working and frequently disappointing, in my experience.

comment What is a quick and concise way to explain online font licensing to a customer?
"Why should I pay that?" - "Because that is the cost that the font maker charges for using this font online. If you prefer, we could choose a suitable alternative that would not cost anything extra." - just my suggestion. Make it a choice of two things - pay the money or don't use the exact font. Don't make it a choice between infringing and being honest - if that's the way the client thinks, then I feel for you as it sounds like a difficult client.

I notice the question title has now been edited which is good.

That is correct. So the issue is probably in your use of the word "font", which in my book is a digital file used to create lettering in a given typeface.

A person who doesn't grasp font licensing may be just as unlikely to know that you don't have the right to show a DVD in a public place. I wouldn't be surprised if that was news to a lot of people.
