Does it still counts as shipping the font... or not? trinix912 4 hours ago No, because a font is licensed as a computer program that generates those glyphs. The glyphs themselves aren’t copyrightable. bluescrn 9 hours ago And if you generate a set of bitmaps/sprites of individual glyphs from the font (e.g. to use as a bitmap font in a game), is that different to shipping an image with more specific uses of the font baked in, e.g. a logo/title image?
