Fast Fonts use by non *.arcgis.com Domains #159

Closed dbouwman closed 9 years ago

dbouwman commented 9 years ago

Someone should check how we pay for Fast Fonts usage.

Seems that we can now use fast fonts on non-*arcgis.com domains, but... are we (esri) paying for that?

ajturner commented 9 years ago

@TheBlueDog and I chatted today about making 'de-trademarking' the open version of this and removing fast fonts was one identified item. So the framework would still 'look good' but not use Avenir or a bold *GIS

One possibility that may be worth investigating is moving to Open Sans (an open source typeface). The font files could be included directly in the build.

@dbouwman to answer your original question, we pay for the "Master" (highest) plan on this page: http://www.fonts.com/subscriptions

We use our subscription to create web font "projects". Each project has a different whitelist of domains that can load the webfonts. The project for calcite web has whitelisted:

*.arcgis.com    
*.dev   
*.esri.com  
arcgis.github.com   
arcgis.github.io
esri.github.io  
localhost   
s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/patterns.esri.com

All of those domains will be allowed to use the fonts of that project. The only thing that we have to worry about is that the total requests made to all of our font projects does not exceed 20,000,000 pageviews per 30 days.

Sounds like you guys might go a different direction, but that's how it works currently.

At v0.2.5 we have a build that uses open-sans, and if using sass its pretty easy to use different fonts.
