Oh hi! I can probably do a handful of these :) |
[IANAL] since these are all bitmap fonts, their actual shape is not covered by US copyright laws as far as I can tell. If we extract all letters as .pngs, or whatever, and recompile a font with the same metrics, we should be clear... in the US. For other countries this is a bit more complicated but I think I still have the metrics-extracting scripts ready so using the ascii representation & compiling new fonts should be alright. (For roboto & droid specifically, we should use the direct-recompile approach.) Not sure about agency For LECO, I’d like to consider doing something a bit different (eg with serifs) but stick to the blocky design overall. For Bitham, idk. That one will take a good amount of time. |
I was hoping you'd jump on this one! :-) For some of these it might even be okay to punt -- if we don't need them to get the system up and running, we can defer it for quite some time, probably. |
BTW, I designed the font in this watchface and would be happy to donate it to the cause :) unfortunately I no longer have the raw code, do you know how to fetch app tarballs from the currently live store? |
@jneubrand The query parameter is not named dev, it's dev_settings. If you open this link, you'll get a link to download the .pbw at the bottom. |
Renaissance fonts are now the default! |
Ok, I've submitted a PR to the metrics in Renaissance for metrics for all Pebble fonts. |
@jwise thanks a ton! |
VMware's Clarity City seems like it could be a good choice. It's derived* from Metropolis, which is very similar to Gotham. *From what I can tell, upstream Metropolis was taken down due to a trademark dispute, but VMware used it in their products. Based on the revision history, the font itself seems to be identical. |
Currently, RebbleOS sucks in PebbleOS resource packs; on tintin-family devices, it sucks in the following:
We need replacements for these fonts in order to redistribute RebbleOS on non-Pebble devices. Renaissance should replace some of these; what about the rest?
