Hello,

I want to use some downloaded fonts in an application I am developing but I am a little confused by the terms of the OFL (Open Font Licence).

Is anyone familiar with it?

I am just confused by this part:

2) Original or Modified Versions of the Font Software may be bundled,
redistributed and/or sold with any software, provided that each copy
contains the above copyright notice and this license. These can be
included either as stand-alone text files, human-readable headers or
in the appropriate machine-readable metadata fields within text or
binary files as long as those fields can be easily viewed by the user.

Does this mean that if I use the font in an application I must include the OFL copyright notice with my application or does that only apply if I actually include the font source files with the application?

Thanks

If you include the fonts in any form, you need to give credit where credit is due. Bundle the license in a text file or make it somehow easily accesible to the user like in a "Credit and Thanks to" page included in the game.
