MyFonts is owned by Monotype, the big gargantuan soulless mega corp that is still profiting off typefaces designed by people that have been dead for over a century.

But if you look at independent font developers (who are just folks like you and me), most are perfectly reasonable in pricing and license constraints, and are happy to answer questions or even change the terms and conditions if this makes it easier for you to spend the $30 - $100. I don't think any of these are trying to be litigious, and they're certainly not ignorant.

(Though I understand that your misunderstanding of the web font licensing might make it look so!)

Don't leave us hanging! Tell us more, which games, which company?
Hey, glad you liked it! I tried to get in touch but I guess the message got lost in your noisy inboxes — must be a busy time for you folks. Ping me if there's anything I can help with!
I can put your mind at ease: I took a bit of poetic-mathematic license with that number. I figured that the big sites and the small sites together would average a perfect 1000 fresh-cache vistors a day, but in all probability I'm off by at least 3 or 291 visitors :)

Yeah, that was the fix. Works fine on the Windows machines I just tested with. Did you redownload the font?

The difference is that I used Comic Sans in the "design" of my censorship bars — I didn't redistribute the Comic Sans font itself.

Re:Sans Bullshit Sans on Thursday February 26, 2015 @07:35AM (#9112194)
This should be fixed now. If you download the font again, it should be installable. (If you could check and let me know I'd be eternally grateful! I don't have a Windows machine nearby.)

Thanks. I think the contenteditable div was to blame. I changed this to a textarea, should fix that problem.

I think this was because of the contenteditable div. I now stuck a plain ol' textarea in there, that should fix the problem.

That is awesome! I think Fx and IE might choke on the cross-domain font requestiness though.

If you like to know about what goes into creating a font like this, check my post about it: http://pixelambacht.nl/2015/sans-bullshit-sans/

It's mostly command line tools, so don't worry about any artistic ability (I didn't).

Re:Sans Bullshit Sans on Thursday February 26, 2015 @04:31AM (#9111763)
Good catch. I'll put the font on Github tonight. Create a ticket (er even better, a pull request), and we'll add that bullshit!
Re:Sans Bullshit Sans on Thursday February 26, 2015 @03:39AM (#9111619)
Thanks for reporting. I took the webfont version of Open Sans as that was smaller. I'll change the permissions tonight.
Re:Sans Bullshit Sans on Thursday February 26, 2015 @03:36AM (#9111613)
Oh, nice catch. I'll fix that tonight. Edit: fixed, thanks again
