Well, with a name like `ugly', what can you expect of a font? :-)

I have noticed that most of the PD/free fonts I've looked at are pretty
awful. I'm sure they're better than I could do, but they're miles away
from aesthetic mediocrity, let alone typographic beauty. There appear to
be good fonts and free fonts, but no good free fonts.

Given the effort and skill needed to develop a really beautiful font,
I'm not surprised that professional designers charge a great deal for
their fonts. 

Is this reading of the situation correct?
