A history of Bombora, from Jan Paul:
• Bombora has been evolved over many years as a hand drawn font in Australian Surf Designs.
• The indigenous word is given to massive surf building up over a reef, often dangerous but always spectacular.
• Find a great Bombora surf track by the "Atlantics" on youtube, especially "Live in the ABC Studio 22"

C - [FOR WINDOWS VISTA AND EARLIER WINDOWS OS] If for some reason you can't get a font to install or you just want to quickly use a font, you can install the font temporarily. Just go to where the font is located and Double Click on the font file (.otf .ttf and/or .fon) and the font will open into the Windows Font Viewer. If you have other font viewing software installed, Double Clicking on a font may open that software instead, so instead on Double Clicking the font file, Right Click on the font file and go to Open With > Windows Font Viewer.
When you have a font opened into the Windows Font Viewer, it acts as if it were installed but only when the Windows Font Viewer window remains open (you can minimize it if you want). If you close the Windows Font Viewer window, you can no longer use the font unless you re-open it or install it. If you used the temporary method and saved a file using a "temporary" font, the font will not be displayed properly unless the font is re-opened into the Windows Font Viewer or installed.
