Getting started. how?

lars

assume i've found some specimen in an old book. i like them a want to digitize them for "education purposes" (and maybe offer it as free font on my site when done). now the how:
- how to deal with the maybe-copyrights on the font
- how to find out if there's an digital version of it already
- how to be safe when comes to all kind of copyright issues and stuff?

thanks: lars

Lars, whats brown and white and looks good on a lawyer?

A pitbull

So if you do that posting of a font that someone else created for whatever purpose expect to see people with pitbulls on them visiting you. I think you'd be better off trying to contact the designer and get permission to use the design. Dan

sorry, looks like my english lacks in some points. what i meant is: old books that contains typefaces that are not available as digital type, because no one digitized them...

Lars they still have intellectual property rights, right. Don't assume. Assume means making an ••• out of you and me.
