Who are these people ? What business is behind these screens ? Is it safe to do business with them ? These are questions any web surfer had at least once about web sites, before doing any purchase online. Just as, probably, for any new company you want to do business with, online or not. And you are right to ask them.

- I want to use your fonts to create books, images and PDF to sell them. What license do I need ?
- Do I need to be online to use the software I buy ?
- How long have you been in business ?
We have been in business for quite a while, at least in this brand new industry. The name "Match Software" appeared for the first time in the September issue of Byte, in 1987. We used to run very tiny ads for a utility called "Match-a-Printer", which helped PC users cope with their printers. Shortly after, "MatchFonts" came to life, a utility to get fonts from PC applications. Since then, we have mainly produced TrueType and PostScript fonts for Windows, Macintosh and OS/2.
- How can I check on your company ?
We are a proud member of the Association of Software Professionals, who stands for the highest professional ethics and quality, and provides arbitration in case of disagreement in the purchase of shareware products.
- Who are your customers ?
We mainly serve individuals, through mail-order, and now, increasingly, the Internet and online services such as AOL.
We do custom work for companies such as the aerospace industry, the electronic industry, desktop publishers and printers. We have created custom fonts for several application developers, serving specific needs, such as foreign language, or system fonts.
We can create any kind of logo font, and provide regularly signature facsimile fonts for companies, where in the past they used rubber signature stamps.
- Where are your products sold ?
We are present on the shelves of your local computer store, through shareware CD compilations. Our shareware packages are also distributed by Ziff Davis, through ZD Net. CD subscription services such as Nautilus and Software of the Month Club also selected our fonts. Finally, the monthly ASP CD is another source for our latest font shareware packages. We are a proud member of the Association of Shareware Professionals.
We are in the process of being republished by much larger companies, and will let you know, as soon as the products are available.
If you think you have a market for any of our products, please give us a call. New business is always good ! We are also looking for overseas republishers.
- Has the Press reviewed your fonts ?
Yes, indeed. Most recently, Computer Shopper reviewed our Dactylographe font, and strongly recommended it, as a better replacement for Windows Courier New. Match Software has been mentioned in PC-News, PC Informatique, Microtimes, Compuserve Online Magazine, Wordperfect Magazine, etc.
- Have you been referred by computer industry manufacturers ?
Yes, we have been recognized by the most prominent software and hardware manufacturers. We are mentioned on the Microsoft, IBM and Apple web sites. Microsoft has offered some of our evaluation samples on some of it's CD-ROM. Apple Computer has also provided our evaluation sample to computer buyers.
- What kind of service do you offer as after-sale service ?
We offer online the same kind of service you would expect from any responsible walk-in store. We do our best to make sure to deliver what we advertise. In general, any reported problem is solved within 24 hours.
- Is it safe to leave credit card informations on your site ?
Press reports have prompted some concern over the safety of credit card information left on some web sites using shopping carts improperly configured.
Our online delivery system DOES NOT USE A SHOPPING CART, but a specific host program developed especially for our online delivery system. The order pages are generated on the fly, at the instant you click on the Buy Online, Immediate Delivery button.
YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION IS NEVER STORED ON THE SITE, but sent directly for treatment. It cannot be found in any files on the site, because it is never passed on matchfonts.com pages !
All informations about your credit cards are processed directly on the merchant bank pages, over an encrypted protocol layer (SSL). It is impossible for any third party (even us) to view any part of the information you send. When prompted for your credit card number, you will notice that the browser will show this :
(older versions of Netscape show this key)
You will also notice that the URL of the credit card information page starts with 'https://', and not 'http://', as usual.
Shopping at SchoolFonts.com is actually MUCH SAFER than buying over the telephone with a cordless handset, or a cellular phone. Always remember, before giving any sensitive information by phone, that any basic scanner can pick up most cordless phones, and non-digital cellular phones. And this goes for credit card information, as well as any personal identification, such as so often required by the banks or utilities companies. It is a wise precaution to always keep an"antique" cord phone handy, for such conversations.
We will appreciate any suggestion tending to improve your shopping experience, or the security of our transactions.
After all, the Internet is such a new environment, and such a technical thing, that some may feel slightly overwhelmed, and still insecure.
If you do not have a fax machine (we often today use a fax-modem), save the order page as a text file, which you can then complete and edit from your favorite word processor, and directly fax, as easily as printing.
Last but not least, do not hesitate to place a check in the mail. It has proven very safe before electronic mail was a reality.
We will deliver the fonts electronically as soon as the check clears.
