- FinnKuhn 1y agoLicensing fonts is just such a headache that I would never want to deal with it. They are usually based on metrics that are pretty cumbersome to track. If you want a custom font where no OFL licensed alternative would work I'd rather hire someone to design a new font. I guess that is also the reason so many companies now have their own custom font (e.g. Spotify, Adobe, etc.).
- pabs3 1y agoJust beware of OFL with a Reserved Font Name, you can't modify them (and building from source counts as modification) and redistribute without renaming them. This is especially a problem for Debian since they like to build everything from source, including fonts. https://wiki.debian.org/Fonts/Bugs/rfn-violation https://wiki.debian.org/Fonts/Bugs/rfn-violation https://wiki.debian.org/AutoGeneratedFiles https://wiki.debian.org/AutoGeneratedFiles
