  How does WhatTheFont work, and can we deploy something like it across all independent foundries’ work, not just Monotype-adjacent fonts? I suspect it'd be great for indie sales, but I wonder how many clickthrough sales on MyFonts actually come from WTF. I feel like I've posted this before, but here goes again.

  Type designers: How do you think an automated font identification system (a la WhatTheFont, WhatFontIs) could ethically (and hopefully effectively and broadly) be rolled out for indie fonts? What's the comfort level? I don't think font files would need to be stored. I think images could be generated from trial fonts. Feel free to reply with stipulations or thoughts.
