Is it “legal” to use copyrighted fonts without a license for non-profit projects? Incorrect. Fonts are most definitely protected by copyright in the US. You are thinking about the typeface. The font file is copyrighted, the typeface that the font creates isn't. |

What computer subsystem is responsible for font kerning? Monospace fonts don't contain kerning information for obvious reasons. Also, many fonts designed for on-screen use, such as Georgia (designed by Matthew Carter), don't either. As for free fonts, it depends where you go. Fonts listed at Google Web Fonts generally do provide decent kerning, especially the more popular ones. |

Can I commercially use a logo that was made using URW Chancery L? Not to mention that the GPL allows for commercial use anyway. |

Can I commercially use a logo that was made using URW Chancery L? A software license cannot restrict what you can do with artwork generated with that software. For instance, Photoshop cannot dictate what you can and can't do with artwork you generate with Photoshop. It can only cover things like how you use Photoshop itself: are you providing it to students for educational use? Are you a designer using it as part of your business? Things like that. But if the student then goes and makes a logo with that copy, the software license cannot demand royalties if the student then sells that logo. The logo is the students' own work to exploit as they wish. |

Can you identify the font used in this CAPTCHA please? Those images are being blocked by my internet security software because the site they're on is supposedly infected with a malware script called "Mal/HTMLGen-A". |

Point vs Pixel. What is the difference? That's not true at all. Firstly, unlike absolute units like px, pt, in, etc, em is a relative unit, relative to the size of your font. For many uses it's simply not appropriate. And if your font size is specified in an absolute unit, then em will be related to an absolute unit anyway. It's not a "mess" that absolute units should be scaled on devices with non-standard viewing distances or vastly differing ppi, it's the standard. |
