My thought was "the fonts are too unique - how can they stay in business".
Think about watching 4 shows on 4 channels all 4 using the same livefont,
would you think of it as a font or as an effect that one ripped off from the
other at first?
I'm all for entirely custom Livefonts. Especially if you hire me to make
them, hehe. Seriously...
Think about the fonts not as fonts but as a container for materials you
repetitively need. Like logo fonts. I have more words on that here:

Try it if you have a weekend, just a few glyphs, only hurts the first couple
of times, then your brain has the proper bent. :)
Cheers,
Frank
