Any designers out there bought fonts recently?

TheoGB [Edit] [Delete] 15:41, 25 March '14

I'm just a bit unsure. Interested in the Univers font family:

http://www.linotype.com/1560/univers-family.html

for a website (you need to click the 'web' option, although it's the same fonts, a bit cheaper, so not really the point) and it looks to me like I'd need to buy four fonts to cover all the normal options:

- A standard one
- a standard oblique one (for italics)
- a bold one
- a bold oblique one (for bold italics)

Is that right? £120 seems an awful lot for a font. It seems a bit weird to split it all out like that when bold and italics are pretty much a given for the majority of font work, I'd have thought.
