Would it be considered illegal if i used text from something like windows word and make a shirt and sold them on the internet?
that would be more like copyright infringement.
yeah yeah, thats what i meant. so all these companies that make shirts have thier own fonts?
some, but unless you make a bundle off of their font, they probably won’t come after you.
Are you talking about using a font?
As long as you obtained the font legally it would be ok I think. Otherwise, you would never be able to use your printer. STL prolly knows more than me though.
Your reasoning sounds more reasonable. If you pay for a legal copy of Word, isn’t that a license to use it? As long as you’re not passing around .ttf files.
Correct. Word proccessors and operating systems come with fonts. You are granted a license to use these fonts for your work and business. If you use a truely copyrighted font (say from a movie or tv title), you may get in trouble but there are knock-offs of many of those available as well.
Do stay away from mimicing the look and feel of a copyrighted product though.
yeah, it’s not like i want to copy the google logo and make it diffrent colors.
