![]() So, my policy of late has been, “Sorry, but I don’t offer trial fonts. Even worse, the process is cumbersome: the designer has to get in touch, we exchange a few emails and then I send the fonts. To be perfectly honest, for whatever reason, 99% of the time the customers never come back to actually license the fonts. In an attempt to help designers, I’ve experimented with sending trial versions of fonts upon request along with some usage restrictions. Accounting departments!?!?!?!?) I get lots of requests from designers facing this situation. Every project should have a big font budget. In these cases, the project budgets don’t always allow for speculatively buying typefaces just to see if they work for the project at hand. That’s great, but at other times designers need fonts for a specific project right now. Sometimes designers have font budgets that allow them to buy fonts based on potential use on unknown projects in the future. Typefaces aren’t expensive when you think about the value that they contribute to a piece of design, but that doesn’t mean that they are cheap. ![]() Many designers want to be able to test typefaces before they buy them. What is Fontstand? First, let me describe some scenarios that my customers face… The AP is solely responsible for this content.I’m thrilled to announce that my fonts are available on the brand new Fontstand. _Īssociated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP’s collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc. That year, Bishop Anton Bast was found guilty of “imprudent and unministerial conduct” and suspended from work as a bishop in the Methodist Episcopal Church, a predecessor to the United Methodist Church. The proceeding, which took place in a Chicago suburb, was the first known trial of a bishop since 1928, according to the denomination’s historical archive. But Carcaño regretted not having dialogue with her earlier.Ĭarcaño has been in ordained ministry for 47 years and was ordained a bishop in 2004, according to United Methodist News Service. She denied asking that Constant take a shorter leave and noted that the pastor eventually went to full-time at the new church. She said there were other issues, such as setting a precedent for using church development funds for someone on any kind of leave. Chelsea Constant, testified the experience ran counter to what she learned from the United Methodist Church “that human dignity is sacred to God and must be protected.”Ĭarcaño testified that, as someone who was in ministry as a young mother, she understood the issue well. After that pastor requested maternity leave that would have overlapped with the start of the church, Carcaño changed her assignment to only quarter-time at the new church, with most of her time spent at a previous assignment. Some of the most personal testimony centered on an allegation that Carcaño retaliated against a pastor who had received preliminary approvals to lead a new church. The chancellor also said Carcaño’s daughter’s employment wasn’t nepotism because she didn’t report to her mother. ![]() Campbell cited a legal opinion from the conference chancellor saying that the local church could decide whom it offered hospitality in its parsonage. Witnesses on behalf of the bishop said she wasn’t using the parsonage as a second residence but rather as more affordable lodging than a hotel in an expensive city during times when the West Sacramento-based bishop was ministering in San Francisco. In more than two hours of testimony on her own behalf Thursday, Carcaño spoke in measured tones as she was questioned about each of the charges and denied them one by one. She characterized the bishop’s actions as “a violation of sacred trust.” “A leader can demonstrate faithful, empathetic, courageous and prophetic leadership and do harm in other ways,” she said. She was suspended with pay and benefits in March 2022 from her leadership of the California-Nevada Conference since 2016. ![]() Witnesses at the three-day trial voiced sharply contrasting views of her leadership, with some calling her prophetic and “tender and caring,” others retaliatory and “cuttingly fierce” - or both at different times. Witnesses also raised concerns about the appearance of nepotism because her daughter lived for a time rent-free in the parsonage and worked as an administrative assistant for a district superintendent.Ĭarcaño had pleaded not guilty to all charges. The prosecution also said she benefited from her use of a San Francisco parsonage, which was renovated through a church-development fund, as a second residence. ![]() Among other particulars, the prosecution alleged Carcaño retaliated against clergy and staff who challenged her decisions and that she took actions or allowed them to be taken while sidestepping committees and other staff that should have been consulted about decisions. ![]()
