>What saddens me is that a lot of people are so ignorant that they don't even realize a font is something that takes creativity, tradecraft and a lot of work/time/effort to design.
Except most of the creative part was done 100 years ago and companies are now trying to protect the fact that they digitized something that has existed for a century or longer.
Not every font is digitized from old samples.
They are still mostly derivative works in basically every sense.
This broad generalization can apply to any creative endeavor such as music, movies, books, and TV series you know?
Confidently asserted obvious falsehood
