If you use OCR to copy the entierty of a book and it became legit after doing so , I'd argue that the laws around that make little sense.

- randombits0 5y agoI was only suggesting a failure in law. Merely scanning is not creative and not protected. As for fonts specifically, while I am not qualified to describe creative elements versus prior art, I think we can all agree the the field of commonly used fonts is quite well within the realm of the public domain. Font foundries only exist to squeeze unearned profits from only minor and non-expressive additions to that that is already well within accepted public art for many hundreds of years. They are swindlers and con artists.
