@marsidesino This is incredible! A lot of this information is also going to be included in the next iteration of the https://typefoundry.directory. Hoping efforts like these help to demystify font licensing.

@marsidesino Very interesting. Is it 'legal' to sell a Font without any License .pdf provided? I do not know these things and I do not intend to copy a .pdf from another site. But I will provide a .pdf on how to use each Font. I do intent to start selling my Tengwar Fonts once I have mastered how to do it properly. I hope in about a year or so.
