Is it me, or is typeface design basically what we would call copyright infringement in other fields? Every font is based on some other font.

everything's a remix; what's infringing in a field is mostly subjectivity and status quo

Everything's a remix, but the parameter space of a Latin charset font is so small that some fonts are nigh indistinguishable.

Yeah, metric-compatible fonts are a nice hack. Those don't actually have to be similar at all, just have the same bounds. Totally legit IMO.

Hey, at least Monapo manages to be metric-compatible with MS PGothic without ripping off the glyphs. Linux users need SJIS art too!pic.twitter.com/AxuXQY4OKv
