I have bought a font with a really shitty license agreement and I have a couple of questions.
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. - I had to register and log in to download the ttf files)
How can I remove the DSIG and other metadata from the ttf file while keeping it usable?
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 an automatic detection attempt?
To my (and possibly your) surprise, I didn’t find any free downloads of the font online.
Their license is tied to a personal account, you have to log into once a year to keep the license. As far as I understand they theoretically could use the DSIG to let the ttf files “expire”, at least when used in software that verifies the signature. But I may be wrong, please let me know.

Didn’t know that the bot was ported to lemmy
Looks like it’s a mastodon bot.
