Need to use free font - or pay for licensing Arial #8

Open vsiegel opened 8 years ago

To use Arial, luckily yould not would need the full license, for € 832 - you can license typfaces separately - € 98 total for regular and black at €49 each.

The better solution seems to be to use a font with a free license instead, like OpenSans.

A related question: what does the comment in Arial14.h etc mean:

* Arial_14
