I saw that too.  I can only assume, not being really savvy about the font world, that they are simply knock-offs, the legality of which, I do not know.

Sorry!

Frank,

The site you recommended sells the font for $30.

However, I noticed that it can be downloaded for free from here:
http://www.fonts101.com/fonts/view/Uncategorized/30288/Silentina_Film

Or here:
http://www.fontpalace.com/font-download/Silentina+Film/

I wonder what the difference might be, other than cost?  Knock-offs?

Silentina is used often in actual silent film restorations...

Problem is, most intertitles were hand lettered, so a font looks too uniform to the picky, but I don't  know of anyone who still practices the art of hand lettering for signs.

Of course, by hand-kerning the text, you can get a lot closer to a more agreeable look.
