What is the license for Consolas font? Can it be used for commercial applications and/or embedded?  I tried to find it but couldn't find any. There's a "request quote" on the Microsoft website and that's all I could find, nowhere that says "you need to pay to use it"

I've noticed that most custom fonts include a license.txt file that requests some amount of money for a commercial license.  I am interested in whether it is also necessary to license OS (Mac/Windows) included fonts for commercial use.  As a side question, is font theft an issue in the industry?

Has anyone figured out a way to use custom fonts in Marketing Cloud emails, where the font is specified only with Free Form content block level?   There is a hacky solution provided for full HTML emails in , but this method doesn't seem to work or I'm doing something wrong.   First encode font file on  site.  Then create codesnippet with the code:  %%[ SET @customFont = "T1RUTwAMAMKAAAMAQENGRiDCu2zDikEAAgTCuAAAwoITR1BPUzA.." ]%%   Then add the @fontface to the block  @font-face {               font-family: CustomFont;               src: url(data:font/ttf;charset=utf-8,base64,%%=v(@customFont)=%%) format('truetype');  }   Then style the areas with simple  div {      font-family: CustomFont; }   However even just adding the @font-face to the Free Form will disappear after saving it.   Anyone else have had any luck using custom fonts with emails HTML?

I have heard that .NET is not free and that I have to pay Microsoft if I develop a .NET application.  Is this true?  If so:   What do I have to pay? I'm a subscriber to the MSDN via the Academic Alliance (we download a variety of Microsoft Software products for free, like VS2008 and Windows Server 2008). Do I have to pay for the software that I make with these tools? What about web apps with ASP.NET? Is there a payment due when I host my application or do I just pay for the technology?   EDIT:  So what you are saying is that it's the same to develop a web application using ASP.NET or PHP (ignoring technical issues, just payment side), all what I have to pay is the hosting fees?  EDIT 2:  .NET rules :)

I using the Win32 API and C/C++. I have a HFONT and want to use it to create a new HFONT. The new font should use the exact same font metrics except that it should be bold. Something like:  HFONT CreateBoldFont(HFONT hFont) {     LOGFONT lf;     GetLogicalFont(hFont, &amp;lf);     lf.lfWeight = FW_BOLD;     return CreateFontIndirect(&amp;lf); }   The "GetLogicalFont" is the missing API (as far as I can tell anyway). Is there some other way to do it? Preferrably something that works on Windows Mobile 5+.

I know you can put custom fonts in say C:\Windows\Fonts and applications will be able to find and use them. However this is only possible when you have administrator access to the machine, which is rarely the case in shared environments.  Is there a general way to use custom fonts from some other location suitable for non-admin users? If not, is there any manner specific for Adobe Fireworks (CS3) and Office 2007?  I'm interested mainly in XP and Vista, but a solution that works for other Windows versions would be great.

I am writing an article comparing three pieces of software. I have taken screen shots of all of them and would like to use them in a non-open access article. Given the intended journal, there is a reasonable chance of the images being on the cover. What are the copyright issues associated with screen shots?  Specifically, one of the pieces of software is free and open source (GPL v2), and two are free as in beer, but closed source with unknown licenses and no EULAs. To further complicate matters one of the closed sourced pieces of software looks and functions very much like a proprietary piece of hardware produced by a massive company. Three years ago I contacted the developer of the software and asked about using a screen shot and he said it was fine. The software is still widely available, but the direct download from the developers site now has text indicating that the massive company has "requested" that it be taken down. I own the physical hardware and am not aware of any crazy licensing restrictions. I could use a photo of the physical hardware if that is better.

Is it possible to identify the font used in a specific document/picture?  Answers to this question should identify:   Possible methods to do this (perhaps one answer per method) and adequately describe how to use it (as opposed to merely stating it); Ways of finding the identified fonts, if possible (free or not); and Any prerequisites associated with the method used, if required (for example, "In order to use method X, your document has to be in format Y").   This question is meant as an FAQ, based on an . Its aim is to facilitate the community with the general procedures involved in font identification. Similar cases are solved on a per-usage basis on 's  tag.

Frequently there are questions about, how to manually install a font, what very often means “Type1 font”. So I thought, we should write a general answer about the several aspects to regard.  Beside the usual approach for  it seems, that for fonts further steps are necessary. What are these steps? Or better:  How to manually install fonts and their associated support files in TeX distributions?

I'm currently doing a design course and have been tasked with recreating a typographic piece including the fonts.  What is the best method for identifying fonts? I have tried the online 'questionnaire' style identifiers as well as image upload ones, but they are inaccurate at best.  I have specifically tried WhatTheFont and Identifont with this sample:

I've just upgraded to FF 57 and websites that use their own fonts have stopped displaying text.   I know this is a problem others have had, e.g. , but the solutions there have not worked. Safe mode does not help either, the problem only goes away if I uncheck the custom fonts option in Preferences.  I have custom fonts installed as well (from TexLive and and a couple more) so I'm thinking that might be the cause.   Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?  Example from Github:

A standard document (e.g. scrreprt) uses roman font family for text and Sansserif font family for titles etc. It is the other way round in beamer. How can I switch the two font families? Or why do beamer define the font families in this way?  For the background: I think this is my problem when using formulas, because they use the Sansserif font instead of the roman version. Formulas using the euler package look really poor.  P.S.: I compile with LuaLaTeX using TeXlive 2013.

I would like to install the MS Truetype Fonts that come through the package ttf-mscorefonts-installer, so I did:  sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer   Accepting the license, the process completes without any errors. The fonts end up in     /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts   as expected. Just to be sure, I also did a  sudo fc-cache -f -s -v   which among other things says in its output:     /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts: caching, new cache contents: 60 fonts, 0 dirs   So far, so good (and inline with question ) However, when I then open any font dialog (e.g. in OpenOffice or the font dialog of the terminal) I don't see all of the new fonts. For Arial, the standard form is missing, but bold and italic are there. Times New Roman is missing altogether.  I can use nautilus to browse to the font directory, double click the Arial.ttf file and see the font in all its beauty. I can even click the install button then and the font is copied over to my personal ./fonts directory and from there on visible to my apps. But it is not picked up from the system directory.  How do I get these fonts available system-wide for all users?

How do I specify the fonts, and general font size, for the titles, chapters and sections in my document  Update:  I can see how my question is confusing.  I use \section and \chapter etc. to organise my document, and I would like to change the way the section and chapter titles are displayed.

I freelance, but I'm still green in some areas and Copyright is one of them. I know about using/purchasing stock and all that, I have accounts on all the stock sites, but I created a design, which resulted in some issues.The design had some copyrighted material and here's where I'm confused.   My design is complete vector based. I either made my own vector from an image, or I used a Photoshop brush. I was once told that a loophole with using images was that if you make a brush out of an image and create that image using a brush, it's considered a tool and there's technically no copyright. This could be wrong information, or maybe it doesn't apply to certain imagery. I downloaded a brush set that doesn't have any copyright restrictions attached to it and used that to create some of my images that are an issue. So my question is, if I create my own vector or use a brush of an image, let's say Mickey Mouse, could that still create copyright issues?      My next question is fonts. Can words be copyrighted? Some of the issues in my design were words and I understand the issue was probably related to the LOOK of the words, but if I find a font (one free font I found looked similar) can I use this without any issue?  Any help would be appreciated. I haven't had to worry about copyright before, until this project and it confuses me so much!

is supposed to be compatible with XFCE. Fonts and cursors work, but when I apply the themes and icons on Xubuntu 16.04, nothing happens.  How can I apply these icons and themes (or something similar) on Xubuntu 16.04?
