Legal use of fonts

Sandy · 2014-10-01T02:31:47

My apologies if this is the wrong place to post this. If it is, you can move it. Does anybody know where I can find fonts that are legal to use with a Direct X font engine? I sent an email to the MyFonts site telling them what I wanted to do and asked if their license allowed this. For those that don't know, the direct x font engine uses a sprite with all the characters, numbers, and symbols to display any string. MyFonts told me this is making a "derivative" of the font and that is not allowed. So does anybody know where I can get fonts for this purpose? Can I use fonts from the XNA redistributable package?

What is wrong asking other game developers?

Nothing. But you keep asking questions that a lawyer could answer better and more definitively. You don't have to hire a lawyer. But if you're nervous, a lawyer could give you the best advice.
