Hi,

Apparently the page here was constructed using something called
Elementor. https://www.friendsofthegulfislands.ca

The heading is in a script style of typeface.

I'm interested to find a free, open source replacment font. Not
necessarily the same in appearance but aesthetically appropriate.

Ideas and technical tips welcome.

Thx, ... P.

Have you looked at https://elementor.com/blog/handwriting-fonts/ ?

Try filtering Google Fonts <https://fonts.google.com/> by Calligraphy / Handwritten.

Many fonts are under the SIL Open Font License.

Looked since you mentioned. The heading I cited appears to be
in Pacifico font.

Elementor is charging us 50+ dollars/yr. I don't see a mention
of free fonts but we might find one in fonts.google.com.

Thx, ... P.

That gives 81 fonts to consider.

Good, thx, ... P.

Presumably they're not charging you $50 for the use of a font they say
is "Open-source and available through Google Fonts"! It's available
from many different websites.
