Using commercial fonts

sefosete29 Jan 2011

Hello everyone.

I found a quote where an anonymous user says that Sony can't use a (FF Blur) font because it's commercial:

Probably Sony reworked it... They can't use a commercial font, of course, they must have their own font

in this thread.

I was wondering if it is so, why can't some brand use a commercial font?

Thank you.

I think what they meant was that Sony wouldn't use a commercial font, presumably because they want something more special.

Oh great. That explanation makes sense.

Thanks for the answer.

You are probably reading "can't" too literally. I think the writer's implication is that Sony thinks a font anyone else can buy is not good enough for them.

Edit: I post too slow!
