Contact the creator for usage rights of pkmn_r.ttf, pkmn_s.ttf, and pkmn_w.ttf fonts.

Have you already contacted the author? If not, and if you don't mind, I can contact the author instead of you.

@Foxy-null the author is propably japanese so that would be awesome ! (for now i would place a txt file with the url in the addon_files folder for the next update) !

I created an e-mail text to contact them and translated what I wrote into English with DeepL. Could you please check if it is the same as the content of the contact you are looking for?

Email starts here:

Dear Mr. 鵺

Nice to meet you, my name is Foxy_null.

I am involved in the development of Pokemon add-ons for the memorization software "Anki".

I have contacted you regarding permission to use the Pokemon font you have created.

I was looking for a font that could faithfully reproduce the Pokemon battle screen, and I came across your font and was surprised at the high degree of reproduction.

Therefore, we would like to use your font in a Pokemon add-on for Anki, and would like to ask you for permission to use it under the GPL license.

We would also appreciate it if you could provide us with information on what we need to include on the license and how to do so.

Please check the official Anki website and the GitHub page of the Pokémon Add-on from the attached URL.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Sincerely

Foxy_null

Attached.

@Foxy-null Hey that would be perfect ! Let me know if he answers :)!

@Unlucky-Life Guess what?

He has graciously agreed to release the Pokémon font under the MIT license! A distribution repository for the font has been created on GitHub, which also contains the license. Check it out!

Unlucky-Life commented 2 months ago

@Foxy-null whoop whoop ! The E-Mail i got: Dear Unlucky-life-san,

Thank you for using my pkmn fonts. Now my fonts are available under the MIT License. Please get them from my GitHub repository below: https://github.com/nue-of-k/pkmn

Sincerly, 鵺 (Nue)

Foxy-null commented 2 months ago

Wow! He sent you an email too?! And in English?! What a nice person!

Anyway, now we can happily include the font in the add-on. I'm not very familiar with licensing issues, so please take care of the notation.

Unlucky-Life commented 2 months ago

Yes MIT License is perfect !
