    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.

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

    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.
