There are enough fonts. It wouldn't be a great loss for humanity if we didn't get as many new fonts because of decreased profit margins in the font design industry.
- Brendinooo 7y agoThen stick to the SIL fonts, if there are indeed enough of them.
- favorited 7y agoThere are enough fonts. It wouldn't be a great loss for humanity if you weren't able to use one you didn't pay for.
- bryanrasmussen 7y agoThere are enough fonts, I don't go trawling github to download new ones for my projects. And now in the future if I fork a project for my personal use I will make sure to remove any fonts I find in it.
- filoleg 7y agoHow do you know if someone using a font in their github repo paid for it or not?
- the_pwner224 7y agoBecause it is very extremely unlikely that the font license the font purchaser paid for allows them to distribute it to the public. I could see this happening in a repo by Google/MS/FB/etc., but it probably would be extremely expensive for them. Any other instance of this sort of sharing is unlikely enough that it can be assumed to be illegitimate.

- etaioinshrdlu 7y agoI actually believe this is true... I don't particularly like capitalism.
- Gattsu 7y agoThere is also enough of almost anything by your logic or lack thereof. Guess everyone should just pack up and go home.
- thedevilslawyer 7y agoNot a terrible idea. Society can call this problem domain solved, and outside of the purview of copyright.
