License question #40

Open kenahoo opened 1 year ago

kenahoo commented 1 year ago

I have a question about usage of the font (not redistribution of the font itself). Does the license allow using the font to create text inside a Power Point presentation (and then converted to an image, largely because I don't trust the presentation machines to have the font available or embedded or whatever)?

Issue #39 had the opinion that if the font is used to create content, even commercial content, it was okay "as long as the font does not represent a majority of the work which is sold". I'm not sure whether the work itself (the Power Point presentation) would need to be "for sale" (it's not), or if just the fact that I work at a company, not a non-profit, makes this a "commercial" usage under the license terms.

A larger point: the text of the license itself seems to be written with software in mind, not fonts; it's hard to really know whether "using the font" falls under "Adaptation" or "Collection" or "Distribution", or none of them. The closest I can see is "entertainment in dumb show". =)
