As promised, I wrote something about licensing webfonts. The text is available for you to read—and comment on—in @alphabettes https://www.alphabettes.org/font-licensing-webfonts-and-fair-trade/
I share some thoughts, a personal experience and some handy links. I hope to read some more thoughts on the topic.
I have uploaded my MA dissertation on academia.edu. Do check it out and feel free to share your views.
Being native to a script or just an alphabet is rightfully considered to be an advantage or even a crucial requirement when designing typefaces for that script or alphabet. As a type designer who designs for three scripts while being native to only two of them, I am eager to examine the concept of nativeness in type design. What exactly is considered to be native to a script, an alphabet within a script, or a single letter within an alphabet? In type design, what aspects of the nativeness are most important?
