@pixelambacht > A special license is required to use the Font Software on letter form goods for sale, electronic books, game playing devices, […] This, from the “free” font agreement, is exactly the kind of annoying minutiae I have no interest in keeping track of. I’m going to skip downloading these, even at no cost, because I don’t want to risk accidentally infringing.

@pixelambacht @Meyerweb I’d love to get the CSS for it, as long as it is not in the one family per face format that is shockingly common output from type designers. Always prefer one time over monthly, though it has never been clear to me what happens when I cross the views threshold (do I buy the next tier at full price?) and monthly would make that clear.

@pixelambacht Honestly I wouldn't do either? It's not really about the money I just do not have the patience to deal with proprietary licenses for JS libraries, fonts, icons, etc. It feels like paying for the opportunity to be sued later. If I was still doing freelance I guess I'd be open to a Patreon-type model where you pay for access to the files but the license is open. I'm probably just not their target market though.

@pixelambacht My blog has a fonts that I've paid up-front for, I'm very happy with them. I even get updates! However, I'd be happier to pay for an annuall font cert to allow for the updates. This stuff takes a fair amount of work. If they're worth using, they're worth paying for.
