Wooow! I just discovered that It´s not only me finding the “League Gothic” a very nice tipography. I used it recently in a CD cover (a demo) and simply works very well.
Oh! and it´s unfortunate that (for now) it´s a pain to use some fonts on web (talking about licenses). I really hope this issue be solved someday.
