FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE

ABOUT

Ethan Paul Dunham

This one is from Fonthead Design (Boca Raton, FL) and barks like a bulldog. He orders people around who have archives in which they accidentally placed a copyrighted font of theirs with threats like Please remove the font from your website immediately. What you are doing is illegal. When you have done so, please email me back, otherwise I will be contacting your ISP regarding this matter. Here is a question: how does a user know whether a TrueType font is copyrighted? Is everyone supposed to have software to open all fonts? Is opening a font not illegal (most licenses allow you to use fonts, but not look at the data)?

Ironically, in 2009-2010, Ethan Dunham himself started cashing in on fonts made by others through his web font service, Fontspring.
