Visual Studio: Is it possible to redistribute third party fonts, are there any problems?

Navigation
0

I am creating a project with customized fonts (because of the licenses of the fonts, there is no need to worry, they allow commercial use and redistribution).

The problem is that, in the terms ( link ) mention: "c. Font components. While the software is running, you can use your sources to display and print content, you can only (i) embed fonts in the content, as allowed by the restrictions of embedding fonts "...

The point is that I do not want to embed it as such, I want to link it, put that typeface in the texts of my program and with a creator of SETUP (inno setup for example) I want to have the fonts installed in the system, in this way to be installed and to open my program, look as I created it. The above mentioned works, but Am I allowed to do this? Or are the terms only talking about Microsoft's fonts and leaving out third-party fonts?

If you can distribute third party sources in your software while they have some type of distribution license, as long as you include the terms and distribution license included in the licenses of the sources which covers point (ii) the part of Claims of law, the points mentioned in the clause only apply to Germany and Austria:

  

c. Germany and Austria.   (i) Guarantee. The software will work   essentially as described in the Microsoft documentation that what   accompanies However, Microsoft does not grant a contractual guarantee in   relationship with the software.   (ii) Limitation of liability. In case   of intentional behavior, gross negligence, claims   based on the Product Liability Law, as well as in case   of death, bodily injury or physical injury, Microsoft is   responsible according to the legislation.

and as you mention it:

  

for the licenses of the fonts do not have to worry, allow use   commercial and redistribution

The sources already have that legal aspect covered
