     @miunau@meow.social @loup@social.treehouse.systems Ok I mean it is not bad to pay for fonts, but it is when they have unreasonable arbitrary license restrictions like this.

     @miunau@meow.social @loup@social.treehouse.systems It doesn't suit anyone and this requirement is just arbitrary garbage. You should just buy it and it is yours with no restriction on usage.

     @SuperDicq @loup most of the foundries price their stuff based on pageload. which suits single page apps i guess? i'd just prefer to give them a grand or something and have the fonts myself

     @miunau@meow.social @loup@social.treehouse.systems Like how is this even enforced? Does this mean you always have to load the font from an external url and you can't host it yourself?
     
     Will it automatically stop loading your font once your out of page loads? Sounds like a pain to deal with.
     
     Save yourself the trouble and money and just get any of the really great amazing free (as in freedom) fonts that are already out there.

     @miunau@meow.social @loup@social.treehouse.systems Sucks that you gotta use these for work. I would everything in my power to try and convince my clients to use something else that looks just as good.

     @SuperDicq @loup yeah the ones i've used want you to load an external stylesheet which gives the font faces. they have overage fees and stuff

     i use these for work, the designs call for specific typefaces
