Hello,
Microsoft® Store offers for Windows 10 the free Convection font designed for XBox. I cannot determine whether we have the right to use it in a print publication.
Thank you for your explanations
Have you checked the license terms in Font Properties, Legal?
Yes and no, hence the question.
I couldn’t find information in the jungle of Microsoft sites about Xbox specific fonts also available on Window (I found it in Microsoft® Store).
– In general, the fonts offered with Windows 10 can be used on our machines, and if we have a non-limited version (family, student, personal), we can publish books using them.
– The Convection font is intended for Xbox, and can be used on our computer at least for personal use. I couldn’t figure out if it could be published in a book.
I think Bhikkhu was referring to looking inside the font file itself. In Font Creator, you can open the font file and look in [Font => Properties] on the [Legal] tab. The Copyright and License Description fields can give you (possibly definitive) information. However, for many fonts out there, these fields are blank or otherwise not helpful … in which case I’m pretty sure the default (in the U.S. at least) is that the contents would be copyrighted and “All Rights Reserved”.
I hope this helps!
