Free fonts
LibrePlanet 2015

Fonts are not software, but they ought to be libre for the same reasons as software and encyclopedias. I've spent the last ten years as a software freedom activist working on fonts, and I'll show you how I got started, where I'm going, and some of the hundreds of free fonts I've commissioned for writing systems around the world along the way. Finally I'll reveal my take on the most commonly asked question I'm asked about the software freedom movement: how to earn money when giving products away free of charge.

Speakers: Dave Crossland
