Ask: What free fonts can I use in my app for in app purchase?

1 pointsby DYZTover 11 years ago
I&#x27;m an ios developer and created an app which allows the user to add different texts and reposition them.<p>I would like to provide my users with a premium feature which is a font pack. I&#x27;m looking for a few free fonts that I could embed in my app and require payment for them.<p>What kind of license am I looking for? Do you know of any such fonts?<p>Thank you

I&#x27;d be very careful — plenty of &quot;free&quot; fonts come with a license that doesn&#x27;t permit you to resell the font. And what&#x27;s scary is that sometimes the font is distributed without the license so you could get sued if you &quot;just assume&quot;.<p>My advice is to find a few type designers and ask them if they would would license their typeface to be on the safe side. Either you want to offer a flat fee, or a fee plus a cut of each sale.
