Hi guys, I'm happy to report that RNIB has updated the license for the Tiresias fonts, and they now include the "font exception" clause. Please see the excerpt from Katherine Carter below, clarifying this to me (and also her URL to the updated license).
----------------------------------------------------------------- Many thanks for your email. It is very pleasing to hear that the Tiresias fonts are being positively received. With regards to the font exception, it was an omission, however it has now been added to the licence on the download page http://www.tiresias.org/fonts/fonts_download.htm#licence and within the COPYING files in each of the downloadable font folders.
