I have bought a font with a really shitty license agreement and I have a couple of questions.

  1. Are they able to detect it if I use the font in a commercial product online by crawling my website and if yes, how could I prevent at least the automatic attempt?

  2. How can I best share the font with the community? (I am afraid of metadata in the font files, which may be tied to my payment account etc. )

  3. How can I remove the DSIG and other metadata from the ttf file while keeping it usable?

To my (and possibly your) surprise, I didn’t find any free downloads of the font online.

Thanks in advance and cheers-I mean ARR

    Thanks for explaining. I guess this would be comparable to e.g. Blu-ray key revocation. I suppose it’s possible but I’m not sure how likely it is considering the potential downsides, e.g. legal liability, for anyone doing this, compared to I’m not sure what upsides where there’s no profit to be found and all costs sunk
