FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE




PDF extraction and piracy A discussion on Typophiles about the process of extracting fonts from PDF files. The more noteworthy contributions: Thomas Phinney: Obviously we at Adobe are not very worried, as we make and post PDFs showing every glyph in each font we sell. I have no reason to believe that piracy via ripping fonts out of the PDF is a significant portion of all piracy of our fonts. If it were 10% or more, I'd start to be concerned about doing things differently. But I have no reason to think it's even 1%. It's just so much easier to get the actual font from pirate sources. Haley Fiege: Ripping fonts from pdf is such an archaic way of pirating.
