Fonts are expensive. This is a constant discovery for people who only 
use the fonts that come with their OS, but real fonts cost you an arm 
and a leg for the full family =)

That said, you can also buy single fonts, which are always cheaper than 
the font families. As such, Zapfino regular might be 42 euro, and the 
entire family (including the ligature and funkyshapes) costs a lot more, 
since it comprises six fonts. In this case, there six loose Zapfino 
fonts, each 42ish, and a family pack of 230 - 20 euro discount if you 
buy them all! If you wanted them all, of course ;)
