I thought about Droid, but it talks about using OpenType features and I was planning on using freetype. So, I'm open to using Droid, with its OFL license, but I'm not sure if it would render correctly using just freetype. > That, or ask the author of the font I selected for an explicit > authorization. > That's kind of what led me here. AFAIK Redhat is the license holder for the font. I don't know who to contact at Redhat about this question. All of the pointers that I found point to the Fedora Fonts SIG. > (BTW I sure hope no one is going to try the embedding trick in any app > Fedora ships, it's enough of a legal pain with detached files) > Heh, its not a problem on modern fedora. :) -brandon
