Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cergorach" data-source="post: 954416" data-attributes="member: 725">After checking out a couple of high quality Fonts on various sites i saw some of the prices involved and thought to myself “expensive!”. A publisher needs to find a standard set of Fonts to publsh multiple projects, use of a lot of Fonts is not going to be cost effective. But after a hard process of choosing the best Fonts for both main text and headers i still have to cough up €200 for use of two Fonts (and the bold/italic/etc. versions). I wish that was all there was to it, but by chance i read the liscence agreements of the Fonts involved, they are extremely strict about embedding fonts in commercial products (read: pdfs). One of the Fonts i choose gave me the ability to embed the font, but only under certain conditions (the pdf is not allowed to be changed (only viewed and printed). I can life with that, but the other doesn't even allow that. I mailed the owner of said fonts with the question if it was possible to use the fonts embedded in a commercial product, i fear the astronomical costs that will be quoted. I'm seriously considering paying someone to design a (couple) of font(s) for me or even doing it myself (it's been a while since i did some typographic design work). It might be more expesive (timewise if i do it myself), but it will save me a lot of headache with all the liscences.So how do other publishers handle this? Especially those who release pdf products/addons.</blockquote>
