Helvetica Neue Light with @ font-face .. legal？ [英] Helvetica Neue Light with @font-face .. legal?

问题描述

我的团队和我在样式表中通过@ font-face开发了一个使用Helvetica Neue Light字体的网站。

我们很好奇它是否合法对于我们这样做和谁拥有该字体（如果有人吗？）有谁知道我们如何可以找到这个 - 谷歌只是显示了很多网站试图卖我们的字体。

解决方案

我知道它是大多数Mac电脑上的系统字体，只是引用用户系统字体，则许可要求在用户上。

如果您提供字体，则您（或您的客户端）需要许可该字体 - 即使它是一个免费的字体，可能会有某种形式的许可证。

@ font-face使用两种引用形式： LOCAL ，引用用户的系统字体和 URL 有效地使用您提供的字体的副本，并且因为使用@fontface规则没有什么意义，如果你不提供字体，那么几乎肯定你需要主动获得许可证。

例如：

  @ font-face {
 font -family：myHelveticaLight; 
 src：local（Helvetica Neue Light），
 local（HelveticaNeue-Light）; 
} 
  

这里您只引用用户安装的系统字体，因此没有责任

在下面的示例中，您还提供了字体的备用副本，因此您必须积极获取该字体的Web许可证（或者您的客户或网站所有者需要）

  @ font-face {
 font-family：myHelveticaLight; 
 src：local（Helvetica Neue Light），
 local（HelveticaNeue-Light），
 url（HelveticaNeueLight.ttf）; 
} 
  

My team and I have developed a site using the Helvetica Neue Light font face via @font-face in our stylesheet.

We're curious about whether it's legal for us to do this and who owns that font (if anyone?) Does anyone know how we can find this out - google just shows lots of sites trying to sell us the font.

I understand it's a system font on most mac computers, so maybe its license is pretty open?

解决方案

If you are just referencing the users system fonts then the licensing requirement is on the User.

If you are providing the font then you (or your client) will need to licence the Font -- even if it's a free font there will likely be some form of licence.

@font-face uses two forms of reference: LOCAL which references the user's system font and URL which effectively uses a copy of a font which you provide and as there is very little point in using the @fontface rule if you aren't going to provide the font then it's almost certain that you'll need to actively obtain a licence.

for example:

@font-face {
  font-family: myHelveticaLight;
  src: local("Helvetica Neue Light"),
       local("HelveticaNeue-Light");
}

Here you are only referencing a user's installed system font and therefore have no have responsibility for obtaining the licence.

In the following example you are also providing a fallback copy of the font so you must have actively obtained a web licence for that font (or rather your client or the website owner will need to)

@font-face {
  font-family: myHelveticaLight;
  src: local("Helvetica Neue Light"),
       local("HelveticaNeue-Light"),
       url(HelveticaNeueLight.ttf);
}
