The Lounge What is on Your Mind? Categorisation of fonts Post 302463413 by drl on Sunday 17th of October 2010 10:25:14 AM

Hi.

I have a vague recollection (from my Mac font-collecting days, or daze) that the names are the critical part of protection -- they can be copyrighted, but apparently not the font. Perhaps that has changed, perhaps some fonts now have some builtin data that can be copyrighted.

The page at Font - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia has some basic categorization items. I think I had a list that included some of those, and also noted in what context the typeface was most useful ... cheers, drl
