These are so fantastic! Out of interest, does anyone know how copyright for these fonts work? I see a disclaimer, but what would be required to use one of the fonts in a commercial application?

In the US, Bitmap fonts aren't copyrightable, IIRC. Only vector fonts are, because vector fonts are considered software, while bitmap fonts are not. The vector font files themselves ARE copyrightable, however the shapes that these software programs (that's what the court considers vector font files) draw to your screen or printed media are not copyrightable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property_protection_of_typefaces https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property_protecti...
