Technical & legal background using copyrighted fonts in custom road signs in PowerPoint

there are quite a few who can, and while i can't speak for others, this 'clueless clod' has zero interest in helping you. Thank you for disappearing. The sooner you disappear the better it will be for everyone. The original question was: 1. Technical (how do I embed the Roadgeek TT font in PowerPoint?) 2. Legal (what am I supposed to do for copyright stuff? The only remaining question is how to embed the font in Mac PowerPoint. |

It's quite a stretch to say that Macs can't handle fonts as well as Windows! Apple (inventor of desktop publishing *and* of TrueType fonts, the basis for Open Type) is not to blame because MS crippled the Mac versions of their office suite. They had to; if MSOffice for the superior Mac OS had all the features of the Windows version that would be the end of Windows in the enterprise. I don't have a Mac. Do you have a Mac? Did you read this? http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00076_Embedding_fonts.htm Do you agree or disagree with the statement you are responding to? "Mac versions of PowerPoint can't embed fonts or use fonts that have been embedded by a Windows version of PowerPoint." If you still disagree, can you tell us how Mac users can embed that font? |

You can already ditch Microsloth's garbage and just use Mac with Apple's Keynote instead (or even one of the other office suite presentation apps). The problem is that some places don't allow you to use your own equipment for presentations, so you *have* to have a PowerPoint file. Although you can save a PowerPoint file from some of these other presentation packages, there's no guarantee it will look and work the same ... mind you, there's no guarantee of that even if you do use Microsloth apps under Windoze either. :-\ The problem is a real problem which has been explained fully. I can even upload the file if you want to see the PowerPoint file itself. The only unknown now is how to embed a font in PowerPoint on the Mac. Are there any Mac experts on this ng? If so, can you tell us how to embed that font into PPT on the Mac? |

Thank you for finding that information that attribution is all that's needed to answer the second of the two original questions. 1. Technical (how do I embed the TT font in PowerPoint?) 2. Legal (what am I supposed to do for copyright stuff?) The manner of attribution for a web site is to include the following: ´http://www.onlinewebfonts.com font by Michael D. Adams is licensed by CC BY 3.0" I agree that a simple attribution page is in the spirit of the Creative Commons license agreement, since distribution isn't by web, but by PowerPoint embedding. The license says: "This font may be freely distributed and used provided copyright notifications remain intact." That sounds pretty specific. However, this download site states; ´License: unknown¡ and is less specific than the onlinewebfonts.com license. http://www.fontpalace.com/font-details/Roadgeek+2005+Series+B/ So that site fails to meet the minimum CC BY 3.0 license requirement. I think this particular free font is so widely distributed on web sites that the adherence to license agreements by those web sites is variable. The copyright says: "Copyright (c) Michael D. Adams, 2005. All rights reserved." That seems to be the simplest statement of attribution, and the only requirement of the Collective Commons ´BY¡ 3.0 license. Thank you for finding and understanding the "collective commons" agreement, which is new to me so I appreciate your advice. I had a brain fart, it is Creative Commons, not Collective Commons There is more for you he https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Main_Page https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Best_practices_for_attribution https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Marking_your_work_with_a_CC_license https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wik...ing_of_BY_and_ BY-NC_adaptations So how do you maintain a copyright notice intact in PowerPoint 2007? To cover all bases to be within the spirit of the CC license, I would add a CYA page to your Power Point presentation which states the following, or words to that effect: Roadgeek 2005 Series B Copyright © Michael D. Adams, 2005. All Rights Reserved. License CC by.¡ Thank you. That seems like a good answer to the second question of the two asked! 1. Technical (how do I embed the TT font in PowerPoint?) I last used Power Point (Mac & Win) over 10 years ago. 2. Legal (what am I supposed to do for copyright stuff? In the case of this specific font, provide the attribution. In the case of any other copyrighted material, meet the requirements of the specific license demands. Are there Mac experts on this ng who know the answer to the first question? As I said I haven’t used Power Point on a Mac for over 10 years, and since I retired I have had little reason to use Keynote. So in respect of your question, I will be of little help. -- Regards, Savageduck |
