Fonts rule
Translation:
- Panel 1: Doctor Word
- Panel 2: Doctor: “What is the problem?”
- Panel 3: Patient: “There’s something wrong with my voice.”
- Panel 4: Doctor: “Sure. I’ll give you some pills.”
- Panel 6: Patient: “Thanks, Doctor!”
- Panel 7: Doctor: “Next!”
- Panel 8: Next patient: “Good morning, doctor!”


Font law is like a whole thing. I was surprised how strictly licenced even some free fonts can be. I have a memory of carefully reading each licence document to see what I’m allowed to do with it.
I prefer DejaVu for some reason over Liberation. Well, actually OpenDyslexic is my real favourite typeface; but everyone else hates it when I use it in emails.
Well, Liberation Sans is nothing much to look at. I myself prefer humanist typefaces, particularly with noticeable variation in stroke widths. I’d use Rosario everywhere I can, only its kerning is wonky.
These days font marketplaces on the web spell out the allowed use for each typeface quite clearly, so I guess it’s a good thing we’re out of the dark ages of font law.
