Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of any resources for fonts that are compatible with AppGameKit, including a compatible font license. Some Truetype or Bitstream font libraries have specific terms in their licenses which do not allow their inclusion in products such as videos, videogames, or other specific types of digital media. Some font licenses distinguish between webfonts and Truetype fonts. Some font library licenses are more flexible and permissive than others.

Suggestions are welcome, thanks in advance!

For anyone who may be interested, here is an online resource for free fonts with a commercial use license:

https://www.fontspace.com/commercial-fonts

The description on the website states:

Quote: "Free Fonts for Commercial Use
You can use these fonts for commercial projects. That's right, zero license fees. Enjoy the world's largest collection of commercial-use fonts here at FontSpace."


However, as with any online resource, a person needs to do his own due diligence as to the resource's / website's legitimacy and legality. It looks legitimate to me, but that needs to be ultimately evaluated by each individual before deciding whether or not to use such a resource.

In the terms

THE INDIVIDUAL FONTS.
For font licensing information, please contact the respective designers of the fonts, or look for the licensing information if it is provided.

google fonts might be it - FAQ

i've seen some there that are generally free demos of more-complete commercial fonts but there are still a bunch.

the site is also clean, ad-free, and the preview functionality is tops.
